1.5 Ball caster installment
The following steps will be used to show how to assemble the ball caster
(Figure 12) onto your robot.
Figure 12. Ball caster components
From the underside of your robot, notice that there are two locations
where you can install a ball caster. We will use the location on the
opposite end from where you installed the bumper switches (Figure 13).
Once the batteries are installed, there will be more weight on the back of
the robot to force it down, which is why this location has been chosen.
