AndyBoard - April 2024 - Lab 1 - A Basic Robot - Part 5: Steps 76 thru 90

Follow the steps below to install the shaft encoders and the rear superstructure and decking.

Step	Procedure	Picture
76	Locate one shaft encoder sensor , one 1 x 2 beam (p/n 3700) , and three 1 x 2 plates (p/n 3023)
77	Snap the 1 x 2 plates, the 1 x 2 beam, and the shaft encoder sensor together to form an assembly, as shown
78	Install the assembled shaft encoder assembly as shown. Note that the shaft encoder disk may have to be moved a small amount to ensure that it does not touch the sensor as it rotates.
79	Locate one shaft encoder sensor , one 1 x 2 beam (p/n 3700) , and three 1 x 2 plates (p/n 3023)
80	Snap the 1 x 2 plates, the 1 x 2 beam, and the shaft encoder sensor together to form an assembly, as shown
81	Install the assembled shaft encoder assembly as shown. Note that the shaft encoder disk may have to be moved a small amount to ensure that it does not touch the sensor as it rotates.
82	Locate one 1 x 16 beam (p/n 3703) , three 1 x 2 beams (p/n 3700) , and one black friction peg (p/n 2780)
83	Snap the three 1 x 2 beams togther in a tower configuration and then insert a black friction peg into the top 1 x 2 beam, as shown
84	Slide the 1 x 16 beam onto the black friction peg and snap the beam onto the 1 x 6 beam that was installed in step 75
85	Locate one 1 x 16 beam (p/n 3703) , three 1 x 2 beams (p/n 3700) , and one black friction peg (p/n 2780)
86	Snap the three 1 x 2 beams togther in a tower configuration and then insert a black friction peg into the top 1 x 2 beam. Slide the 1 x 16 beam onto the black friction peg and snap the beam onto the 1 x 6 beam that was installed in step 75
87	Locate three 1 x 2 beams (p/n 3700)
88	Snap the three 1 x 2 beams into place, as shown
89	Locate two 6 x 10 plates (p/n 3033)
90	Snap the 6 x 10 plates into place as shown, making sure that the wires from the shaft encoder sensors are routed through the gap at the mid-point of the motors. It may be necessary to gently adjust the tops of the shaft encoder towers to achieve correct alignment with the plates. Installing the rear plate first may make the task easier

That completes installation of the shaft encoders and the rear superstructure and decking.
