BOT120 PICAXE-20X2 MICROBOT

Assembly 5 - Wheels, Tyres and Rear Skid

The Microbot is driven by two wheels at the front and uses a skid to

support itself at the rear. Each wheel has a tyre which must be fitted and

the skid assembly consists of four parts; a bric, a 14mm support post, a

bolt and the plastic skid itself.

Gently stretch the tyres over the wheels and once in place ensure the tyre

is evenly fitted, check there are no bumps and that each tyre’s width is

consistent all the way around the wheel

Fit the wheel and tyre

assemblies to each of the

motor housing axles.

These are a push fit. Either

wheel can be fitted to

either motor.

To assemble the rear skid, the 14mm support post should be pressed into

the centre hole of its mounting bric as far as it will go.

The skid cover should then be slipped over the 14mm support post.

Align the skid assembly with the centre connection point at the back of

the motherboard. The two posts of the bric will fit into the two holes of

the centre connection point. When correctly oriented the connecting bric

will fit flush with the motherboard. If incorrectly fitted the connecting

bric will be angled to the motherboard; in this case remove the

connecting bric, rotate it through 180 degrees and refit.

Once the connecting bric

has been correctly aligned

with the centre connection

point at the back of the

motherboard it should be

bolted it into place with a

single bolt.

If desired you may also

choose to connect the

servo module here at the

same time, as this helps

strengthen the connection.

This is how your Microbot should now look.
