Mechanical Assembly

All hardware should be installed with Loctite unless a locknut is used. As with any assembly, put all
hardware into place before torqueing anything down.

This is how we typically assemble the Robot. If you do not have basic hand tools and some mechanical
ability, we suggest you let us do the assembly.

Drive Installation

Bolt on the front axles with the supplied #10-32 Bolts and Nuts. Mount the axle plates to the front of the

chassis and insert the bolts from the outside in. Once on use the Nylock nuts to fasten the plate to the
chassis and be sure to tighten them.

Now to mount the Drive motors. Install the drive motors. Use Loctite and the M5 machine screws and
washers provided with the kit. You can leave the bolts a little loose until you get the chains installed and
tensioned.

Mount the tension blocks with the #6 hardware. Get all the screws started but can leave them loose until you

install and tension the treads.

Slide the rear axle into the tension blocks. Make sure to slide it in so that the middle key slot will line up with the

flipper arm motor.

Use a lock collar on each side of the blocks to hold the bearings from sliding out. Do not tighten these yet.

Put the sprockets on the motor shafts. The #25 sprockets are used for the drive wheels. The #35 sprocket is used

for the flipper arm. Put Loctite on the setscrews but do not tighten them down all the way as you will need to

adjust them later in the assembly.

Install the back-handle strap. The #10 screws serve two purposes, to tension the treads and also to hold the

strap. Get the bolts started in the back of the tension blocks and leave them loose until the tread is installed.

Wheel Assembly

Assemble the wheels. You will have two drive wheels with the sprockets mounted, and two idler

wheels with no outside teeth or sprocket.

Idler wheel assembly. Sandwich the rubber between the two plastic sides. Bolt them together and then

press in the center sleeve bearing.

Assemble the drive wheels. These use the sprockets and the rubber with the teeth formed into them.

Final assembled wheel is on the left.
