  • Page 5 LT2-F Assembly Manual Mount the tension blocks with the #6 hardware. Get all the screws started but can leave them loose until you install and tension the treads. Slide the rear axle into the tension blocks. Make sure to slide it in so that the middle key slot will line up with the flipper arm motor.
  • Page 6 LT2-F Assembly Manual Use a lock collar on each side of the blocks to hold the bearings from sliding out. Do not tighten these yet. Put the sprockets on the motor shafts. The #25 sprockets are used for the drive wheels. The #35 sprocket is used for the flipper arm.
  • Page 7 LT2-F Assembly Manual Install the back-handle strap. The #10 screws serve two purposes, to tension the treads and also to hold the strap. Get the bolts started in the back of the tension blocks and leave them loose until the tread is installed.

    LT2-F Assembly Manual Wheel Assembly Assemble the wheels. You will have two drive wheels with the sprockets mounted, and two idler wheels with no outside teeth or sprocket. Idler wheel assembly. Sandwich the rubber between the two plastic sides. Bolt them together and then press in the center sleeve bearing.
  • Page 9 LT2-F Assembly Manual Assemble the wheel using the 2” hardware in the center 4 bolt holes. These go through the wheel and are used to bolt the sprocket on the opposite side of the wheel. SuperDroid Robots, Inc Contact 224 Technology Park Lane...
  • Page 10 LT2-F Assembly Manual Slide a #10 washer down first, then slide the flanged nuts onto the bolts. SuperDroid Robots, Inc Contact 224 Technology Park Lane (919) 557-9162 Fuquay Varina, NC 27526 SDR@SDRobots.com www.SuperDroidRobots.com Revised: June 19, 2018 Page 10 of 25...
  • Page 11 LT2-F Assembly Manual Put the sprocket on top of the flange nuts and then bolt the sprocket down using the #10 locknuts. Press in the sleeve bearing, then turn the wheel over and press in the flanged sleeve bearing on the opposite side of the wheel.
  • Page 12 LT2-F Assembly Manual Slide the wheel with the sprocket on the front axle. Use a thrust bearing as a spacer. Put another thrust bearing on and then a lock collar to hold everything in place. Wrap the #25 chain around the sprockets and cut the chain to the nearest link. Make sure the motor is slid forward in the slot so you can have plenty of adjustment after it is connected.
  • Page 13 LT2-F Assembly Manual It is very important for everything to be aligned properly. The motor sprocket can be moved in or out to get the chain aligned. The wheel and tread guide should also be aligned. Repeat the previous steps for both sides of the robot.

    LT2-F Assembly Manual Flipper Assembly Slide the thin bronze washer on the back axle. The put the key in the slot on the shaft. This may require some light filing to ease assembly. SuperDroid Robots, Inc Contact 224 Technology Park Lane...
  • Page 15 LT2-F Assembly Manual Line the flipper arm sprocket up with the motor sprocket. Now is when you should also measure from then end of the shaft to the robot chassis. Adjust the shaft to get each end equal distances on each side.
  • Page 16 LT2-F Assembly Manual Wrap the #35 chain around the sprockets and cut to length. There is adjustment in the axle slots and in the motor slots. Cut the chain to length and Install the master link. Use two bronze bearings for spacing and slide the idler wheel onto the shaft.

  • Page 18 LT2-F Assembly Manual Insert the 1/4-20 setscrews into the flipper arm on both sides (top and bottom). The opposite side does not have a sprocket, so the spacing will be different. Use a thrust bearing and two lock collars for the spacing.
  • Page 19 LT2-F Assembly Manual Slide the remaining wheel on the shaft, then another lock collar. Install the remaining key and then flipper arm onto the shaft. Once everything is in place, you may want to adjust the shaft from side to side to make spacing equal, then tighten down all the setscrews on the shaft, including the lock collars on the inside of the robot chassis.
  • Page 20 LT2-F Assembly Manual You can now wrap the treads around the wheels. Make sure the tension blocks are slid all the way forward and roll the tracks on each side. The treads are the first thing you have to tension. Make sure the flipper motor bolts are loose, tension the treads and tighten down the #6 bolts that hold the tension blocks.
  • Page 21 LT2-F Assembly Manual When the tread is tensioned on each side, tighten the 4 screws that hold the tension block. (Here the tread is removed in order to show a better picture. Your tread should be on and you can reach down with a ¼”...
