Millie Mini AI Bot – Designing in FreeCAD - Part 5: Upper Post Assembly

Dream Cloud Millennial Tech | Robotics Course

In this lesson, we continue building the Millie Mini AI Bot by adding the upper post assembly, a vertical structural component mounted above the middle shelf.

This video builds directly on the previous lesson and focuses on using Local Coordinate Systems (LCS) to accurately position and reuse parts within an assembly.

🧠 Lesson Focus: Upper Post Assembly Using LCS

This lesson shows how engineers use coordinate systems to place the same part multiple times in precise, repeatable locations without redesigning geometry.

What We Do in This Video

In this lesson, we:

Import the post part into the assembly

Use Local Coordinate Systems (LCS) on the middle shelf

Attach the post above the middle shelf using LCS alignment

Reuse the same post part multiple times

Position the post in four locations above the middle shelf

Students learn how structural components can be reused efficiently while maintaining clean, controlled assemblies.

🤖 Applying This to the Millie Mini AI Bot

All CAD work in this lesson directly supports the structural assembly of the Millie Mini AI Bot.

How this fits into the robot build:

The upper posts provide vertical structural support

LCS points ensure precise alignment between parts

Reusing a single part simplifies design changes

The assembly becomes modular and scalable

This reinforces how real robot assemblies are built using reference systems instead of manual positioning.

🛠 FreeCAD Concepts Introduced

This lesson introduces and reinforces:

Local Coordinate Systems (LCS)

Attaching parts using reference geometry

Reusing parts across multiple locations

Assembly-based design workflows

Clean alignment without sketch-based positioning

These concepts are foundational for larger, more complex assemblies.

🎓 Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will:

Understand how to use LCS for part placement

Reuse a single part multiple times in an assembly

Build structured, aligned robot assemblies

Gain confidence working inside FreeCAD assemblies

Learn professional CAD assembly techniques

🧩 Who This Lesson Is For

Students new to assemblies in CAD

Makers building modular robots

Robotics clubs and STEM programs

Educators teaching real-world CAD workflows

No prior assembly experience is required — this lesson builds directly on previous parts.
