Construction (1) Spike wheel assembly : Insert the wheel into the 4 sets of spike tires.

Attach the tire with the wheel. wheel and spike tire set

Insert 3x10mm. screws into the BO-hub

(2) Attach the hub with the spike wheel by using 3 x 10mm. screws and 3mm. nuts. Observe the wheel depth of both size is not equal. The hub will need to be attached at a lower side. Assembly all 4 sets. In order to tightening the nuts properly, the plastic nut driver tool is strongly recommended.

(3) Attach the metal angle bar 2 x 3N with the ATX base plate by using the 3 x 8mm. flatscrews and 3mm. nuts following the position shown below. The angle bar must be located at the lower side and insert the screw through hole from upper side.

(4) Place the BO1 gearbox with the metal angle bar. Turn the motor shaft to outside. Fix the gearbox with the angle bar by using 3 x 25mm. screw and 3mm. nut. Fix only the bottom hole first. Do this for all the 4 motors.

Fix the screw at the bottom hole first

(5) Attach 2 pieces of the metal angle bar 2 x 5 by using 3 x 6mm. screws and 3mm. nuts following the picture below. Make 2 sets.

Back 3mm. nuts Front

3x6mm. screws

(6) Attach the angle bar from step (5) with the BO1 motor gearbox by insert to the end of 3 x 25mm. screw at the upper hole of gearbox to increase the motor fixing on the base plate. Tighten with 3mm. nuts both front and back.

(7) Turn the base plate to top. Attach the 5-AA battery holder by using 3 x 8mm. flat-head screws and 3mm. nuts.

Turn the base plate Attach the 5-AA battery holder at the center of the base plate

(8) Insert the spike wheel with the motor gearbox shaft. Tighten with 2mm. tapped-screw.

Do this for all 4 wheels.

(9) Insert the motor cable through the big hole beside the battery holder to the top side of the robot chasis. Attach the 32mm. standoff at the nook position following the picture below by using 3 x 6mm. screw. Also, do not tighten the screws to much as it has to be able to move later.

(10) Attach the metal angle bar 2 x 2 with the angle bar 2 x 1 by using 3 x 6mm. screw and 3mm. nylon lock nuts. Tightening will require the plastic nut driver. Assemply 2 sets. The finished assemply will also need to be loose and not too tigh as these need to be flexible for movement.

Attach both right angle metal shaft by using screw and nylon lock nut.

Require the nut driver for tightening.

Assemply 2 sets

(11) Attach the assemply part from step (10) with the base plate at the position is shown in the picture below (oppsite side of the metal standoff). Next, attach the ATX board with the metal angle bar by using 3 x 8 mm. flathead screws and 3mm. nuts following the righthand picture below.

The assemblied metal shafts from step (10) Attach the right angle metal shaft with ATX board

(12) Connect the battert holder leads to the battery terminal of the ATX controller board (Red lead is positive [+] and black lead is negative [-].

Red wire is positive and Black wire is negative

Waring : The incorrect battery leads connection may be causes the ATX controller board tp be damage. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE LEAD POLARITY.

(13) Put 5 of AA batteries into the battery holder. Besure about battery polarity is correct.

(14) Closed the ATX board to over the battery holder. Observe the fixed hole of ATX controller board and the hole of the metal standoff must straight. If not, adjust the standoff position until the hole of both straighted. Next, fix both with a thumb screw.

Hole position of the ATX board and the standoff are straighted
