CHAPTER 11 Assembly & Disassembly
Removing the body:
1. Remove the tread to access the battery.
2. Twist the latches.
3. Disconnect any wires that are connected.
4. Lift the body off the frame.
Removing the hubcaps
1. Remove the four bolts.
2. Disconnect the wires to the arm motor while removing the hubcap.
Reverse order for installing.
Removing the main electronics box from the robot:
1. Disconnect the battery connector before working with or removing the main electronics box.
There are two fasteners holding the main box bracket it. You do not need to remove the
bracket from the main box. There are some wires to disconnect also. These include the
speaker wires, headlights, drive motor wires (blue and yellow), power wire to the 151-voice
transmitter, and the receiver antenna wire.
2. Remove the box by lifting up and out.
Removing the drive base from the body: (This would be necessary only if you needed to get to
the drive pulleys, belts or remove a drive motor.)
1. On some models, the main electronics box and bracket have to be removed first.
2. Remove the 6 nuts holding the drive base to the plastic frame.
3. Disconnect the drive motor wires at the in line connection. These wires are blue and yellow
wires going to each drive motor.
4. Lift the back of the robot up and roll the drive base out from under it.
Installing the drive base back into the body:
1. Lift the back of the robot up enough to roll the drive base under and into position.
2. Line up the 6 aligning threads with their holes and lower the robot onto them.
3. You may need to put the electronics panel on now.
4. Put the nuts back on which hold the metal drive base on to the frame.
Reverse steps for disassembly or assembly.
