SECTION 1 - ASSEMBLY
Mechanical Assembly
1. Before starting the assembly of the robot, be sure to follow the instructions to remove the brake from the back of the motors. The
brake is engaged by default. Running the motor with the brake on will damage it beyond repair.
2. Once the brake is removed, remove the six socket head screws that hold the outer clamping plate to the motor. This plate will not
be used and can be discarded. Keep the socket head screws that were removed and use them to mount the motor to the chassis.
Use Loctite to keep the screws from vibrating loose. See Figure 2.
3. Let air out of the pneumatic wheels so that they are easier to manipulate. Take care not to pinch the inner tube when bolting to the
hub. After the wheel is bolted in place, fill the tire with air to match the specifications on the side wall of the tire. See Figure 3.

NOTE
Your robot may come in a crate or carry case. As you unpack your robot, note how everything fits so you can store your platform.

4. Align the key slot on the hub with the key stock on the motor shaft. Slide components together and secure with the provided M10
nut. See Figure 4A, Figure 4B, and Figure 4C.

5. Install cord grips for the motor cables to enter the chassis. The cord grip has a nut that turns off the back end
of the grip housing (Figure 5A) . Remove the cord grip nut and insert cord grip into the chassis holes located
near the motor (Figure 5B). Screw on the nut from the inside of the chassis to lock cord grip in place (Figure
5C). Feed motor cable through cord grip and tighten down the cord grip cap until snug.
6. Use provided hardware to install rear cover. (Figure 6)
7. Use lid screws to install chassis lid. (Figure 7)

8. Mount 80/20 rails. Insert ¼-20 bolts from the bottom side of the rail brackets, and
loosely screw into the T-slot nut (Figure 8A). Slide the rail onto the bracket ensuring the
nut rides inside the groove of the rail (Figure 8B). Once the rail is resting on all three
brackets, adjust the position of the rail to the desired location. Tighten down nuts to hold
rail in place (Figure 8C). Repeat to other side.
9. The mounting of any additional components will require the use of basic hand tools for
drilling and mounting. Be sure to place the object in position before creating any
permanent changes to the chassis. This allows the opportunity to check for ease of
placement, or any interference the component may have with active parts of the robot.
