Mecanum Wheel Vectoring Robot Platform – IG32 DB Mechanical Assembly 1. Start by mounting the motors to the chassis using the M3x8 screws. Use Loctite to insure the screws do not vibrate loose. 2. Slide the steel hub onto the motor shaft so that it is very close the chassis and the screw heads but not touching. Tighten the set screw down onto the flat part of the motor shaft. Use Loctite.

See the figure below for the correct orientation. 4. Now slide the wheel on over the hub, slide the aluminum washer in the other side of the wheel, and pinch in place using the socket head screw and lockwasher. Repeat these steps for other three wheels. 5. Mount batteries using battery brackets and hardware provided.

Mecanum Wheel Vectoring Robot Platform – IG32 DB Operation 1. Before powering on the robot make sure it is up on blocks so the wheels can spin freely. Occasionally some or all of the wheels start as soon as the motor controller gets power. In this case the settings of the motor controller need to be changed. 2. Make sure to use the correct DIP switch settings. If using a Sabertooth motor controller in R/C mode switch 1 should be DOWN (closest to the number) and all other switches should be UP.
