So to better equip the TurtleBot to deal with the future, and cut down on the number of fasteners we need to stock, we will now be shipping all new TurtleBots with metric holes and fasteners. We will also be taking this opportunity to change the color of the plates to a stylish black. The URDF should be in Github in the next few days.
While we recommend the metric parts as being better suited for accessories of the future, we are pleased to announce a sale on parts designed in US customary units while supplies last. We have discounted plates and standoffs at 25% off, so buy early and buy often!
Also, if you can't find what you need, email sales at I Heart Engineering.

Heh, well I've always been metric since I was born after the imperial to metric conversion took place in Britain in the early 1970s.
Imperial units are still sometimes used in heavy industrial automation applications though, mainly out of traditions in certain industries.
are there any cad drawings available with metric dimensions?
These are going up with the IHE wiki that is launching tomorrow.
