Quad-Wheel Omni-Directional Vectoring Robot Kit Mechanical Assembly 1. Start by mounting the motors to the motor plates. Use Loctite to keep the screws from vibrating loose. (Use Loctite on all screws that do not use locknuts). 2. Use the included #4-40 hardware to mount the motor plate to the motor tube.

Mount the omni wheels to the aluminum hubs using the hardware included with the wheels. Slide the steel shaft through a shaft collar and onto the motor shaft. Slide the ball bearing into the hole in the motor tube opposite the motor. Now slide the hub onto the shaft so that it rests against the bearing.

Quad-Wheel Omni-Directional Vectoring Robot Kit 6. Position the batteries on the chassis where you want them to be mounted. Use the battery bracket to mark the necessary mounting holes to be drilled (typically these will be 1/8” holes). Drill the holes in the chassis and mount the battery bracket using the included hardware and, if necessary, foam tape to ensure a tight fit. Also included in the battery bracket hardware kit are some plastic spacers.
Quad-Wheel Omni-Directional Vectoring Robot Kit 7. Pick a spot to mount the switch and motor controllers. Mark and drill holes (1/8” for motor controller, ½” for switch). Optionally, switch mounting brackets are available for purchase for easier switch mounting (see link below).
