The final design for the insert plate remains the same. Some alignment feature is necessary to prevent the insert from rotating inside the flange recess. A pin could be added to either the flange or insert that mates in a hole on the opposing part. The insert plate could also be incorporated into the design of the flange plate.
This revision of the interface plate includes a small tab that mates with the existing bolt holes in the flange.

Wonder Wyler Side Plate design is essentially the same as the prototype. The threaded hole specification has been changed to a similar metric thread.
Threaded magnet unit design is essentially the same as the prototype. The thread specification has been changed to a similar metric thread.
Groove on a post design is essentially the same as the prototype. Some dimensions were changed slightly.
The drill template is a flat part with hole pattern required for setting up the grooves. Template could be used as an installation plate which could be fixed to the robot with grooves in it or be used as a template for drilling holes.
Alternate groove design consists of a slightly longer groove. Instead of a post and hole, the groove has two holes. The holes would match to two pins on the robot.
