IG42-SB4, 4WD All Terrain Robot Platform Mechanical Assembly 1. Start by mounting the motors to the motor plates. Use the included M4x8 pan head screws and Loctite. 2. Next, mount the motor plate to the chassis using the motor plate hardware kit. Use the plastic spacers between the motor plate and the chassis to space the motor screws away from the chassis. Leave the screws slightly loose until shafts are mounted. SuperDroid Robots, Inc 224 Technology Park Lane Fuquay Varina, NC 27526 www.
IG42-SB4, 4WD All Terrain Robot Platform 3. Mount the wheels to the shafts using the included hardware and Loctite. 4. Slide the wheel shaft onto the motor shaft with two shaft collars and a ball bearing (see image below for proper order and orientation). Make sure the flat part of the motor shaft is accessible (if it is not use a battery to spin the motor until it is) and line it up with the holes in the inner lock collar and wheel shaft.
IG42-SB4, 4WD All Terrain Robot Platform 5. Tighten the set screws in the lock collars using Loctite. The inner lock collar should get the longer set screw (3/8” long). Make sure the longer set screw is tightened down through the hole in the wheel shaft and onto the center of the flat spot on the motor shaft. 6. At this point, go back and tighten the motor plate screws. Use Loctite or silicone caulk to keep the screws from loosening. 7.

IG42-SB4, 4WD All Terrain Robot Platform 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.
