This is the Assembly instructions for the Simple Labs 2WD Basic Robot Chasis Kit.

Your Kit Contents - Ensure You have all the items listed in the Image. In addition to these, you will also have an extra metal castor wheel.


Step 1 - Mounting the Castor Wheel

Take the parts shown in the Image Below


Place the Castor wheel and Fasten using 2 screws as shown. We suggest you use only 1 castor wheel in your design as this works good in case of an uneven surface... however feel free to mount and use the other castor wheel as well.
