    Mecanum Wheel Vectoring Robot - IG52 DB Mechanical Assembly 1. Mount the motors as shown in Figure 1, with the motor spacer plate between the motor and the chassis. Make sure to use Loctite on the screws. Do not fully tighten the screws at this point since the motors will need to slide to tension the chain.

Follow the instructions in the next section to wire the robot. Once finished with wiring the wheels and lid can be installed.
  • Page 7 Mecanum Wheel Vectoring Robot - IG52 DB Figure 6: Chain layout 9. The easiest way to cut the chain is with a chain breaker tool, illustrated in Figure 7. Figure 7: Chain breaker tool 10. Alternatively, clamp the chain in a vise and grind/file the ends of the pins down. Then drive the pin through the chain.
