The housing is a single system that should adapt to all the other subsystems - it changes depending on the design of other systems. This is why, in the first version of the Mars rover we have chosen to use aluminum extrusion channels for the housing frame. This allows us to modify the frame to accommodate any modifications in other systems, while providing a lightweight sturdy frame. In the spaces in-between the frames sheets of plastic will be placed. A preliminary design was made, taking into account the most likely designs of other sub systems.

As one of the main goals of this year's RoboTeam was to make the design as modular as possible, we decided to make all the PCB's modular. One the bottom left of the housing you can see a smaller frame. This would encase the PCB's in a vertical orientation. Each PCB is equipped with a casing. To ensure proper alignment, rails on the casing and slots on the frame will be used. A combination of multiple magnets will ensure that the casing does not slide out while the rover is in use.
