How to draw this figure in LaTeX?



I am new to LaTeX figure drawing. Here I see two round headed rectangles and two circles. Also I am eager to know that can I draw this in Overleaf?

          Just another solution.

          fill circle(2pt) coordinate(a) ++(20:2cm) circle(2pt) coordinate(b);
          draw (a)++(110:2mm) arc (110:290:2mm)--++(20:2cm) arc (-70:110:2mm)--cycle;
          draw (b)++(170:2mm) arc (170:350:2mm)--++(80:2cm) arc (-10:170:2mm)--cycle;

            One out of many possibilities.

            usetikzlibrary{shapes.misc}
            begin{document}

            height=4mm,rotate=80,anchor=west](B)

              The figure reminds me of a toy called "Metallbaukasten" (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallbaukasten). It would be interesting if there is a package for this.

            Run with xelatex



            documentclass{article}
            usepackage{pst-node}
            begin{document}

            begin{pspicture}(-1,-1)(4,5)
            pnodes(0,0){A}(3,1){B}(3.5,4){C}psdots[dotscale=3](A)(B)
            ncbox[linearc=0.4,nodesep=4mm]{A}{B}
            ncbox[linearc=0.4,nodesep=4mm]{C}{B}
            end{pspicture}

            end{document}

              Another option: this one is in Metapost using the mplib package, so you need to use lualatex to compile it. In Overleaf, click on "Menu" at the top left and choose "LuaLaTeX" as the compiler.

              save P, A;
              picture P; path A;
              A = halfcircle scaled 2 radius rotated 90
              -- halfcircle scaled 2 radius rotated -90 shifted (extent, 0)
              -- cycle;
              P = image(draw A;
              if mark_start > 0:
              fill fullcircle scaled 2 mark_start;

                                    Another option: this one is in Metapost using the mplib package, so you need to use lualatex to compile it. In Overleaf, click on "Menu" at the top left and choose "LuaLaTeX" as the compiler.
