  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-02-23)
  
  Today, I bought a baseplate ([10700](http://www.toysrus.com/buy/lego-bricks-more/lego-classic-green-baseplate-10700-6102278-45304716)). Sadly, the female connectors on the back are not "LEGO compatible"...you can't plug any LEGO bricks into them. I want to build a LEGO cart so [dash can pull dot](https://www.makewonder.com/dash) (a big mechanical moving robot can pull a small nonmoving robot). I need to plug the wheels on the bottom of the large brick and a fence to block the little robot in on top. I listed all items in category Bricks on [Pick a Brick](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByTheme) and found no match. Similarly for [bricklink](http://www.bricklink.com/).
  
  Where can I find a large flat brick (at a minimum 4 inches by 4 inches) so I can build a wagon?
  
  If all else fails, I can super glue some thin bricks together.

  A baseplate is not the same as a plate.
  
  A baseplate is meant as a base for your lego constructions, a plate can be used in a construction as well.
  
  As for plates, I think 16x16 is the largest and 6x24 is the longest you can find.
