VersaChassis Mini User Guide
These set screws come with a nylon thread locking patch. However, they could still come loose over
time. If they are loosening more frequently, use "blue" Loctite (Loctite 615) to help prevent these
screws from loosening.
Run drivetrain in various directions (forward, backwards, turning left, turning right, strafe left, strafe
right, etc.).
Noises and visual observation of your robot running in your pit are easy ways of knowing something is
(or is about to go) wrong with a mechanism. Running your VersaChassis Mini in every possible
direction while on blocks is a great way to watch and listen for these potential issues. Things to be
watching and listening for are clicks and rattles or wheels/motors not running or running slowly.
Periodically check screws and rivets
Over the course of an event robots see a lot of vibration and impact. These can cause screw and
rivets to loosen up. Check all your screws and rivets and make sure they are tight. If you're using
rivets and have a loose rivet, you should replace it.
Inspect motor connections and other robot wiring
Loose or improper wiring can rob your robot of power. This means that motors might not be running
at their full potential and your sensors could be providing incorrect data. Check for cuts along a wire,
loose connections, and potential shorts.
