Why I Built This

I wanted a faster way to make consistent Boston Dynamics Spot fiducial plates without reopening CAD every time a tag ID, robot name, or logo changed. This tool keeps the template fixed and makes the variable parts quick to update.

Key Features

Live SVG preview with fixed Spot plate geometry
Validated tag36h11 AprilTag IDs from 001 to 586
Purpose-first ID range selection for localization, unspecified, and dock fiducials
500-series IDs assigned to the dock plate template that matches the size of spot dock plate size with dedicated bottom text slots
Optional built-in, custom, or empty logo handling
Separate print-safe and CAD-safe SVG downloads

What The Tool Generates

The generator produces a printable Spot fiducial plate SVG with a fixed 146 mm AprilTag, fitted company and robot text, consistent hole placement, and optional branding. It is designed for teams that need repeatable plate artwork instead of manually editing the same template in CAD.

How To Use It

Choose the fiducial range that matches your workflow, pick a tag36h11 ID from that subset, enter the text that should appear on the plate, and download either a print SVG or a CAD SVG. The browser preview stays close to the final output so you can verify the plate before fabrication.
