Mounting Electrical Components
11. Mount batteries on top of the chassis using battery brackets and hardware provided. Use foam tape on
the bracket and underneath the battery to ensure a snug fit.
12. Measure a place on the chassis to mount the switch. Drill a ½” hole. The top of the chassis is a good place
for it so that the terminals are protected underneath the chassis and the switch is protected from being
accidentally turned off in a collision. Another option is to use a Switch Protector Bracket and mounting
the switch on the side of the chassis.
13. A hole will also be required to run the wires from the batteries down to the motor controller. Make sure
this hole is free of burs so that it does not cut through the insulation of the wires.
14. Most of the motor controllers for this robot will fit inside of the chassis with the motors. If you select a big
motor controller though it may need to be mounted on top of the chassis with the batteries.
Inflating the tires
Before running the robot on the ground, make sure the tires have been inflated. Running the robot with a flat
tire can cause the tube to spin inside of the tire and damage the valve stem. For this reason it is a good idea to
check the tires periodically to make sure they are inflated.
