If the terminals are dirty or corroded, clean them first use a small knife or steel wool to gently scrape any contamination or corrosion to reveal shiny metal. The rosin flux helps, but you need to make sure the joint is clean to begin with. The items to solder (terminals, wires, etc.) must be clean.Radio Shack sells 11 piece kits (P/N 64-2803) with a 30 watt iron, solder and other tools. A soldering gun will work, but this tool outputs a lot more heat that can easily melt wire insulation and cause shorts. Use a high-quality 25-30 watt soldering iron.Do not snap the iron down to flick the solder off a small flying drop of solder may splatter and stick to your skin.This will instantly become an excruciating blister.Hold the iron in one hand and the solder in the other. Have a helper hold the objects you are soldering and ask them to hand you tools when needed.

Do not solder if you can't devote full attention to the job. Use a fan placed well behind you to generate a slight breeze however, do not let the fan blow on the iron or your work, as this can cause bad solder joints. Try to arrange your work area so that the smoke from the solder flux blows away from you. The smoke from the flux is generally non-toxic, but it may bother some people and may carry trace amounts of lead. Follow the following safety tips to avoid this calamity: The soldering iron and liquid solder are EXTREMELY HOT! A typical soldering iron is 700☏ it is remarkably easy to pick up a soldering iron by the wrong end if you're not paying attention. We changed the size of the wheels to 8in. Velcro was used to affix the victors, sidecar, and the cRio to the robot chassis. Remove 1 churro beam- make room for intake.įor us to package all of the electronics on the Everybot, we bolted two plexiglass pieces onto the bottom of the robot chassis they are 12" in length and 16" in width.Mount brackets 4 and 2 holes in, respectively.Add weight in order to get traction on the obstacles.While we were putting the wheels on the base we had to put 1/4-20 washers on the short churros on the outer panel so the wheels had room to move.Ĭut 6” off of 2x3 hole brackets (to make 20inches longĬut 1 inch off of churro tubes to make 23” longīevel inner and outer plates (so edges don’t cut into the rough terrain ) Whole Chassis with Wheels and Gearbox (Square Base) Here is a link to the structure of the base and the kits from AndyMark: Here is a list of the tools that your team will need to assemble the base: We ran into a couple of hurdles, but we quickly found an easy solution to them this page features a few of our problems and solutions while constructing the Everybot, along with a few tips, to make it easier for your team to build the base. AndyMark has published useful videos for assembling the kit base we utilized these videos and found their instructions easy to follow.
