2. Assembly Step
Step 2.1
(2.1.1) Fix the DC motor gearbox with the chassis. Begin by putting the rst gearbox on the chassis as shown
in the Figure 1.
(2.1.2) Insert the motor mounting plate into the slot on the chassis. Next insert the screw M3 x 30mm.
through the mounting plate, holes of gearbox and tighten by the M3 nut following the Figure 1. Next, do same for
the other DC motor gearbox.

Step 2.2
Take the 2 x 3 holes metal bracket to fix at the front of chassis with M3 x 10mm. screws in
the position as shown in Figure 2. Do it 2 sets.

Step 2.3
Place the ball caster between the 2 x 3 holes metal bracket from step 2.2 above. Insert the M3 x 35mm.
screw through the bracket and ball’s center hole to x with the lock nut M3. Tighten by the nut driver following the

Step 2.4
Fix 4 pieces of the 3 x 10mm. metal standoffs with the chassis following the Figure 4 by using M3 x 6mm.
screws.

Step 2.5
(2.5.1) Puts the tire on the ATX wheel. Do both sets.
(2.5.2) Put the wheels with tires onto the DC motor gearbox’s shaft of both motors and then tighten the
2mm. self-tapping screws to x them as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5 Put on the wheels and screw them onto the shaft of the two DC motor gearboxes.

Step 2.6
Mount the KidMotor V4i control board onto the metal standoffs and tighten with four of M3 x 6mm.
screws to x the controller board mount to the metal standoffs from step 2.5 according to Figure 6.

Step 2.7
(2.7.1) Connect the left motor cable to the motor output - 1 connector of KidMotor V4i board and connect
the right motor cable to the motor output - 2 connector as shown in the Figure 7.
(2.7.2) Check the motor connection by turning the wheel as shown in Figure 8. Observe the operation of
the motor driver’s LED on the KidMotor V4i board. The result is as follows :
• Turn the wheel forward, the LED glows green as the wheel spins.
• Turn the wheel back, the LED glows blue as the wheel spins.
If the test result is the opposite color, reverse the polarity of the motor connecting and test again.

Figure 8 shows a guideline for checking the motor connection.
Step 2.8
Take the ZX-03 infrared reector mini board
and attach it to the metal 3 x 25 mm. standoffs with
M3 x 10mm. screws. Make 2 sets as shown in the
Figure 9.

Step 2.9
Take the 5-hole strip bracket and x it to the robot chassis at the position following in Figure 10 with
M3 x 10mm. screws and M3 nuts.

Step 2.10
Take the ZX-03 mini-board with the metal standoffs from step 2.8 and attach them to the strip bracket
that mounted to the robot chassis from step 2.9 at the locations in Figure 11 with the M3 x 10mm. screws.
