If you are also adding a basic sumo blade, you can either mount it now or add it later after you are
done soldering the motors and battery contacts. To install the blade, first bend its mounting tabs
to the appropriate angle. Next, place them on top of the shield so that the holes line up with the
two front mounting holes and insert the two
longer
(5/16″) #2-56 machine screws (included with
the shield) through the blade, shield, spacer plate, and chassis. Be careful when adjusting the angle
of the sumo blade while it is mounted to the chassis, as this can crack the acrylic spacer plate if
you apply sudden or excessive force. We recommend you do not try bending the blade while it is
mounted to the chassis.
14. Solder each motor lead to the shield, then trim off the excess length of wire.
