Questions

How big is the Wheelbase PCB?

It measures 110 × 90 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.52 mm thick.

What parts does the Wheelbase use?

130 parts, built around the STM32G474RET6, DRV8353FSRTAR, RT9013-33GB and AONR62818. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Wheelbase KiCad files?

From the SemuBot/semubot-electronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is wheelbase/Wheelbase.kicad_pcb and its schematic powerboard/hot-swap.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Wheelbase design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SemuBot before reusing the design.
