CHAPTER 10 Assembly & Disassembly
Removing the cap
1. Put your hands on the bottom rim of the cap, a hand on each side. Give a quick pull up and
the cap will pop off the cap rod. It is not necessary to remove any of the nylon bolts to
remove the cap. There is a sticker on the black crosspiece listing step by step removal of
the body. These steps are listed below.
Removing the body from the frame
1. Remove the cap of the robot as described above.
2. Unscrew the cap nut which is on the cap rod.
3. Disconnect the any and all wire and connectors connecting into the top of the frame. These
include:

16 pin round connector (this includes eye servo and eye lights wires).

microphone wire with plug.

water squirter hose (optional feature).
4. Unlatch the body latches that attach the body to the frame. These are located to the left
and right just above the frame. Pull the latch pins inward to unlatch.
5. It is easiest to pull the body off by putting your hands down along the bottom edge of the
body at the seams. Pull out slightly and then up. As you lift up make sure that the wires no
wires are still connected and that the wires do not catch on the body as you pull it off.
Attaching the body to the frame
Reverse the above steps.
Removing the eye box from the body
1. Remove the three nylon bolts just below the eye holes in the body.
2. As the last one is removed, you will feel the eye box starting to come down. Hold the eye
box with one hand and lower it down to the floor. Lift the body up to get the eye box off the
floor.
Install the eye box in the reverse order.
