Eddie Robot Platform (#28990 & #28992)

v1.2 11/10/2011 Page 6 of 16

The physical sizes of SLA batteries differ depending on brand and capacity. Figure 4b shows typical

locations for standoff placements, for the batteries that come with the Eddie platform. Mount the

standoffs in hole locations that provide the tightest fit for the batteries that you’re using.

Place the Delrin shelf so that the Parallax Logo is face down, and attach the standoffs as depicted in

Figure 4b.

Set the Battery Shelf Assembly aside for now.

Step 5: Main Base Assembly

Place the two pre-assembled Casters and Motor Mounts a shown in Figure 5a. Orient the Base Plate

“face up” so that the two sets of three holes (in a triangular pattern) are visible, as shown in Figure 5a.

These are “blind” holes (they do not go all the way through). The Caster assemblies are attached from

the bottom of the Base with short screws that do not mar the finish of the top-side.
