Of course, you are free to use your own motor drive and caster wheel system in that case, skip down to Working with HDPE. Assembly using the Motor Mount and Wheel Kit -AL (Aluminum version) is the same, unless noted otherwise. Step 1: Attach Caster Wheel Assemblies Construct two Caster Wheel Kit Rev B assemblies ( 28961) by following that products guide. The bottom of the Robot Base is the side that has the two sets of (3) caster mount holes showing. These are blind holes, because they do not go all the way through the base material. This results in a cleaner look on the topside of the deck and eliminates the need for nuts and washers on top surface of the platform. Position each pre-assembled Caster Wheel Kit Rev. Bs to a set of (3) blind holes as shown below. Insert a 6 x 3/8, Socket-head cap screw included with the Caster Wheel Kit Rev B into each mounting hole in the casters mounting plate. Tighten using the included ball end hex key for this operation. Retain the hex wrench for future useit works well if you decide to install PING))) Ultrasonic Distance Sensor Protector Stands, Sharp IR sensor stands, or Dual PING)))/IR stands around the perimeter of the Base using the pre-drilled holes.
