Motor Module: 1. Collect the following pieces

2. Assemble as depicted

3. Build another motor module, but as a mirror image of this one. Must be opposite so that both

sides of your robot has functioning motors.

Push Pegs (x2) (3 length peg with a bushing end) Half axle peg Friction pegs (x4) 7 length beam

Half axle peg

Push Pegs

Watch your

spacing!!

Wheel Module: 1. Collect the following pieces

2. Assemble as depicted

Have at least 8 long axles

Pay special attention to how you

attach the bushings.

The side with more bushings should go

on the side of the hub with the deep

indent

15 hole beams

Friction Peg Friction Pegs

Make sure your bushings

are on correctly!!

Attach the 15 length beams

using the peg clip after your

hub and tread are in place

3. Build another wheel module, but as a mirror image of this one. Must be opposite so that both

sides of your robot has functioning treads.

4. Connect your motor and wheel modules by sliding the axles into the appropriate holes

Add other hub

Make sure your tread spins well

Final Construction: 1. Collect the following pieces

2. Assemble as depicted

15 hole beam

11 hole beam

9 hole beam

Friction pegs (x2)

Full Bushings (X2)

Add friction pegs to 15 hole beam and

attach the beam to the wheel bracket

Secure the motors together by

attaching the 9 hole beam

Secure the wheels by adding

the bushings to the axles

Add the 11 hole beam onto

the peg clips securing the

axles

Connect the sensor module

onto the 11 hole beam such

that the light sensors face

down
