Section II. Building ScioBot 1.0
i. Assemble the main chassis
ii. Build the wheel assemblies
Required Parts and Components:
•
2x Wooden Sticks
•
1x Battery Mount
•
1x T Connector
Step 1:
Slide the battery mount about halfway onto the first wooden stick by inserting the wooden
stick through the slots on the battery mount.
Step 2:
Insert the T-Connector onto the second wooden stick. Use the slot that goes through the
entire T-Connector so that you can slide the T-Connector half way onto the wooden stick.
Step 3:
Connect the two pieces using the remaining available slot on the T-Connector.
Required Parts and Components:
•
2x DC Motors
•
2x Motor Mounts
•
2x ScioBot Wheels
•
2x Rubber Bands
Step 2:
Attach the wheels to the motor shafts. The motor shaft has a D shape. If you look at the
hole in the center of the wheels you will see the same D shape. Align the flat part of the D
on the motor with the flat part on the wheel and press the shaft into the wheel. Do this for
both motors.
Step 1:
Insert the motors into the motor mounts. They will slide in and fit snugly. Some slight force
may be required.
Warning! Be careful not to push on the motor lead connections as
they could be damaged!
