SECTION 2 - ELECTRICAL ASSEMBLY

Wiring the Power System

NOTE
• Keep all electrical leads as short as possible to limit electrical noise.
• Controller battery and Motor battery should be different sources to minimize noise.
• Keep signal wires away from power lines.
1. Internal components may vary based upon the configuration chosen for this kit. Multiple wiring methods are possible as a result.
We recommend viewing the schematics available on our website to assist with wiring your power system. The guides can be found
at the following link: https:/ /www.superdroidrobots.com/shop/custom.aspx/support/1/#Electrical
2. Mount the power switch for your kit.
3. If battery brackets were included in your kit, use these to hold batteries in place. Determine placement of the brackets, then drill
holes in the chassis to match bracket holes. Use provided hardware to tighten bracket in place, with foam underneath the bracket to
ensure a tight fit. Use spacers to prevent the battery from becoming unseated in the bracket. We recommend all screws be installed
inward to prevent protruding threads outside the main chassis.

Wiring Motor Controllers

NOTE
• Electronics are sensitive to static electricity. Use proper precautions when installing electronic component
• Ensure caution with polarities to prevent damaging components.
• Check power without electronics attached, then slowly add components to prevent damaging system.

Testing Power System

NOTE
• Keep hands clear of all moving parts.
• Keep the robot raised on blocks when testing the system.
1. Ensure all solder joints are clean and do not cross other connection points. Utilize heat shrink to cover splices properly.
2. Ensure the base of the robot is grounded if wired per schematics mentioned above.
3. Lift the robot onto blocks so that treads do not touch the ground.
4. Make sure all electronics are disconnected before the first power test.
5. Connect the charged batteries. Then, turn on power to make sure wiring is correct.
6. Turn off power and then attach one component. Turn power back on to test that component is powered properly.
7. Repeat Step 6 with each component until all have been tested and connected.
