Step 2: Motor Installation - Parallax Stingray Manual

STEP 2: Motor Installation

Parts Required
• (2) Motor, 7.2 VDC, 310RPM, 6 mm Shaft
• (6) Screw, Black, Button Socket Cap, M3, 6 mm
Using the included 2 mm Hex Key attach the motors to the Motor Mount Plates using 3 each of the
M3 screws as shown in the figure below. The main body of the motors should be toward the bottom
of the robot while the shaft should be toward the top.
Be sure all three screws in each motor are very snug, but do not over-tighten.
Please note that the six M3 screws look very similar to the ones used on the chassis assembly in the
previous step. To distinguish them from the others you can see that the hex hole in the head of the M3 is
larger and uses the 2 mm (larger) Hex Key.
