Build the Soccer Bot

For this entire step, pay attention to the orientation of the blueboard and placement of the parts!

1. Screw a bolt into the opening of a short standoff, and then attach the standoff to the middle of the blueboard’s bottom row.
2. Bolt a long L-frame to the two holes in the top righthand corner of the blueboard.
3. Bolt two short L-frames to the top row of the blueboard. One should be on top of the long L-frame.
4. Bolt a long L-frame to the two holes in the top lefthand corner of the blueboard.
5. Bolt two long L-frames in the 6th row of the blueboard so they are parallel to the top long L-frames.
6. Bolt two long standoffs in the third and fifth holes of the 2nd row of the blueboard.

1. Bolt the battery box to the two short standoffs on the blueboard.

For this entire step, pay attention to the orientation of the blueboard and placement of the parts!

1. Bolt two long L-frames to the second and sixth columns of the blueboard. The ends that are sticking up in the air should be facing away from the center of the blueboard.
2. Bolt a 7-hole metal frame to each side of the blueboard so that they cross the long L-frames. Four holes from each frame should be sticking out off the blueboard.
3. Bolt a long L-frame to the end of each 7-hole metal frame. The ends that are sticking up in the air should be facing away from the center of the blueboard.
4. Bolt a 4-hole metal frame to each new long L-frame, and then bolt each 4-hole metal frame to the second to last holes from the bottom corners. You may need to move the L-frames to do this.
5. Flip the whole thing over!

1. Place the top half of the body onto the long standoffs on the bottom half of the body.
2. Secure everything using two short standoffs.

1. Bolt three 7-hole metal frames to two 7-hole metal frames so that the three frames are parallel to each other. They should be attached to every other hole on the two 7-hole metal frames, with the top and bottom holes left open.
2. Use another 7-hole metal frame to attach a horn bracket to the center of the metal frames. This frame should be parallel to the two 7-hole metal frames. Use a long bolt for this part!
3. Bolt the center of the metal frame grid to the middle two long L-frames on the top half of the body.

1. Bolt a blueboard to each angled long L-frame on the top half of the body.
2. Bolt the motors to the long L-frames on the bottom half of the body.
3. Use black screws to attach the wheels to the motors. The wheels will still stay on without the black screws!
4. Use the two short standoffs on the top half of the body to attach the Smart Inventor Board.

To wire your Soccer Bot, make sure that the Smart Inventor Board is facing you:

• The motor on your right is M1.
• The motor on your left is M2.
• Attach the motors to their respective spots on the Smart Inventor Board (M1, M2, M3, and M4 are all marked).
• Make sure that the red wires are the in the negative position (facing the inside) and that the black wires are in the positive position (facing the outside)!
