BrainBot Assembly
Prerequisite
This lesson assumes you already have your own BrainBot that needs building. If your robot is already assembled, you can jump right to the BrainBot Intro.
Assembly
- First, turn over BrainBot chassis and find the gold strips along the edge. Place the gearless side of the motor down on the each strip.
- Plug in motor connectors. They only fit one way.
- Align motor mounts over holes in the BrainBot chassis, and place over each motor.
- Place 1 rivet inside each hole of both motor mounts and press them in.
- The axles are shaped to match the holes in the tire, push each tire onto the an axle. Make sure not to push to far. We need a small gap of clearance in order for the tire to turn.
- Next, position the front universal wheel over the front holes of the chassis.
- Place 1 rivet inside each hole of the front wheel and press down.
- Next, add the recharge battery into battery holder. Note + positive end goes towards the front. A Li-Po battery is used, so make sure to carefully read the Safety section to fully understand how to properly use them.
- Finally, insert your BrainPad into the connector. If you’re using the BrainPad Tick, place all the way to the right of the connector.
Assembly Complete!
