Drawings/Sketches

Servo/Motor
- The servo/motor is a very simple piece of VEX equipment. It will be attached using two 1/4" bolts and two 1/4" screws directly to points A and B (see drawing below). The drive shaft will then be attached to point C (see drawing below) which will allow it to move or rotate a certain piece of equipment. The wiring of the servo/motor will be easily workable. The person in use of the servo/motor needs to simply connect the wire clip to the Microcontroller which will supply the servo with power.

Notes
- Each servo/motor is mounted to a metal plate using two 1/4" bolts and two 1/4" screws.
- Make sure they are mounted very tightly to ensure the success of their capabilities.
- Always mount a servo/motor using both screw holes to establish a firm base.
- Do not attach a servo to a motor.
- Any open wiring should be covered with electrical tape and a professor should be informed.
- Any cracks or malfunctions should be reported to the professor. Stop all work with the servo/motor if this occurs.

  1. AD,
    While I do see drawings they do not have the detail necessary to give a clear picture of what is "going on". More parts should have been included and a scheme of how they fit together.
