Assembly

Hull Assembly Steps

1.      Connect four 1x25 hole plates by a  5x1x25 plate using four ¼” bolts and four ¼” screws. Bolt in on bottom and top corners.

2.      Attach two 2x25x1 hole plates parallel to the 5x1x25 plate and attached to the ends of the 1x25 hole plates.

3.      Attach the corners of the square hull by using two ¼” bolts and two ¼” screws on each corner.

4.      Attach the ends of the 1x25 hole plates by using one 1/4'” bolt and one ¼” screw.

5.      Glue three floaters under the 2x1x25 and the 5x1x25 plates.

Electronic Assembly Steps

1.      Place the VEX Camera to the middle of the bridge (upper 5x25 plate) aligned with the slingshot.

2.      Bolt down VEX Camera to the 5x25 plate using two ¼” bolts and two ¼” screws.

3.      Place the Microcontroller to the left of the camera (if facing the back of the VEX Robot).

4.      Bolt down using two ¼” bolts and two ¼” screws.

5.      To ensure safety and optimal stabilization, bolt the outer parts of the Microcontroller.

6.      Each device : claw, slingshot, propulsion (2), tank tread, will use a servo or motor.

7.      Servos are to be attached by using two ¼” bolts and two ¼” screws. These must be bolted in tightly and secure or the servo will not function with its maximum output.

8.      Motors are to be attached using two ¼” bolts and two ¼” screws. Like the servos, these must be bolts down tightly and properly fitted to fit the hull design.

9.      Antenna is to be attached to the bridge (5x25 plate).

10.  Antenna should be secure and away from other electronic devices if possible.

11.  Attach the antenna using a ¼” bolt and ¼” screw.

12.   Receiver Module is to be placed on the right of the camera.

13.  Bolt down receiver module using four ¼” bolts and ¼” screws.

14.  All 3-wire servos are to be electronically attached to the motor port on the Microcontroller.

15.  All 269 motors are to be electronically attached to the motor port on the Microcontroller.

16.  To ensure safety and durability of materials DO NOT attach any motors to servos when power is emitted. This could cause damage of the item or a circuit to short.

17.  In order to power all these devices the transmitter battery and power pack must be charged.

18.  Charge these devices separately to ensure battery life and stability.

19.  Plug in the charger to any house-hold outlet.

20.  Connect the power pack or transmitter battery to the charger. They will individually take 4+ hours to charge; let them charge!
