Focus on one module first: As @windysoliloquy suggested, try prompting just for a ‘single shelf segment with a motorized robotic platform’ instead of the whole rack.\n\n  2. Use ‘Cutaway view’ or ‘Technical Schematic’ style: This forces the model to focus on the alignment of wheels and tracks rather than cinematic lighting.\n\n  3. Be specific about the placement: Instead of ‘at extreme ends’, try: _‘A low-profile robotic shuttle on four wheels, positioned between two vertical steel rails. The shuttle is aligned to move depth-wise into the shelving unit.’_\n\n\n\n\nAlso, if you have a rough sketch, try using the ‘Edit’ (In-painting) tool in ChatGPT to highlight just the wheel area and describe only that part. It’s often better than re-generating the whole image from scratch.",
