STEP 9 – Assembling the Touch Sensor “Plunger” – Part 3:
9.
Using two (2) M4 x 16mm screws, attach a 3x9 Gusset
Plate to the front of the Axle Hub.
a.
The screws will pass through the holes in the 3x3
Flanged Plate and prevent the shaft from rotating.
NOTE: For Planetary Exploration Kits, please use Step P9
on page 15.
STEP 10 – Attaching the Touch Sensor Plunger:
10.
Using two (2) of the Small Quick Connects on each side,
attach the Touch Sensor Plunger to the top-front of the
robot’s base plate.
a.
As shown, the Flanged Plate is centered on the base
plate with five (5) empty holes on each side.
b.
Note that the Flanged Plate hangs off the edge.
STEP 11 – Mounting the Touch Sensor:
11.
The Touch Sensor is mounted using two (2) Medium
Quick Connects. For this sensor, the quick connects
must come up from the bottom of the base plate
.
a.
The sensor is positioned so that the plunger presses
the red button on the front of the sensor.
b.
The sensor cannot be perfectly centered so place it
between the standoffs as shown, with two (2)
empty holes on one side and three (3) empty holes
on the other.
