STEP 15 – Mounting the Motors on the Robot:
15.
Using a Motor Mount Spacer between the Motor Mount
and the side flange of the robot’s base plate, attach a
motor to each side of the robot and secure with two (2)
M4 x 16mm screws and Hex Nuts.
a.
The motors are mounted directly behind the cow
catcher’s 3x5 Gusset Plates. Do not leave any empty
holes between the plates and the motor.
STEP 16 – Attaching the wheels
16.
The wheels are pressed onto the motor shafts using the
same technique used to press the Axle Collars on to the
Plunger shaft.
a.
With the wheel hub screws to the outside, align the
D-shaped cutout to the motor’s axle and press it
onto the shaft.
b.
It may be easier to place the wheel on a table and
push the robot/motor down into the wheel.
c.
The motor shaft should be flush with the wheel hub
(or extend slightly) when properly installed.
STEP 17 – Install the Battery and Prepare for Wiring:
17.
Insuring that the battery wire is towards the back of the
robot, snap the battery pack into the battery clip on the
bottom side of the robot.
a.
Route the wires from the motors and the battery
pack through the large hole and to the top-side of
the robot.
b.
Arrange the wires neatly along the bottom of the
robot; using some small twist-ties or cable ties to
help keep them in place.
