STEP 1: Chassis Assembly (lower)
Parts Required
• (1) Stingray Chassis Plate
• (5) Stingray Sensor Mount Plate
• (2) Stingray Motor Mount Plate
Tools Required
1/16" Hex Key (included)
Use the 1/16" Hex Key and the black #4-40 black button socket cap screws in this step. (Note that
there are also 6 button socket cap screws and a 2 mm Hex Key; be careful to use the correct type.)
Attach the Tail Wheel Mount Plate and Sensor Mount Plates to the Chassis Plate in the orientation
shown below.
Attach the Motor Mount Plates, being very careful to orient them correctly so that one screw hole is
close to the Chassis Plate, which will be the bottom of the robot.
Tip: An easy way to do this step is to attach the Tail Wheel Mount Plate first, then attach the front Sensor
Mount Plate. Now if you turn the Chassis Plate upside down each mount plate will slide right into position
and should be easier to attach.
