Use the 7/64” ball-end, Allen wrench to screw in the (3) 3/8” long socket-head cap screws to attach each

of the Caster Wheel assemblies to the Base, as shown in Figure 5b. Make them snug, but do not over

tighten.

Before you mount the drive wheels to the Base, verify that the ID jumpers (A and B) on the Position

Controller for the left motor are set to “1” (both jumpers installed) and that the ID jumpers on the right

Position Controller are set to “2” (A installed, B removed). (See Motor Mount and Wheel Kit for additional

information).

Figure 5b

Flip the Base over (as shown in Figure 5c), and attach each pre-assembled drive motor unit to the Base

using (2) ¼ x 20 button head screws for each motor, as shown. Tighten using a 5/32” Allen wrench.

Connect the long, three-pin servo extension cable to the left Position Controller on the header marked

“To Controller”. Connect the other end of the cable to the same header on the right Position Controller.

It is recommended that the cable is routed across the top side of the robot platform. This configuration

allows both Position Controllers to be connected to the Control Board on the same bus.
