Parallax Boe-Bot Tank Treads Manual page 5

Separate all the rubber tread pieces and connect together as shown in Figure 9.
Each loop contains 1 long, 2 medium and 2 short treads.
Check each wheel to make sure it rolls without binding. If any wheels bind, loosen the nut and remount
to maintain a small gap between the wheel and nut. Stretch the tread over the wheels and the assembly
is done.
The Boe-Bot's breadboard circuit can be protected by installing (2) 1.5" screws and (2) 1.25" spacers on
the front of the Board of Education.
