sandwiching the plates between two nuts. Separate the plates so the spacing is relatively even between them
and the chassis base.
6. Mount the batteries on the top deck using provided Velcro straps in the slots.
7. At this point, you are finished with the mechanical assembly. You are now ready to wire the robot.
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.
