Fixing the motor, ramp , wheels and motor driver to the chassis

The motor is inserted into chassis accordingly and screwed
               

 The Phoenix is placed on top of the chassis

              

The Wheels is connected to the shaft using screws

                   

•  The ramp is fixed in the front end of the robot 
•  The purpose of having a ramp is to push the opponent robot out of the arena and defend our robot.

        

Now the robot is ready to connect to the receiver

       

Motor - Parallel Connection

• After connecting the motor to the chassis, check the direction of all motors. 
• To check , connect the motor individually to the battery and check the direction.
• The two left motors are connected together and the two right motors are connected together.

Left motor parallel connection                            Right Motor parallel connection

                                     

 Motor - Phoenix board Connection
The left motors wires are connected to the left motor terminals in the board
          
 Right motors wires are connected right motor terminals in the board.

            

Connecting the Receiver to the board

• Connect the Channel 1 of the Phoenix Board to the Drive output (for front-back control) of the receiver.
• Connect Channel 2 of the phoenix board to the Steer output (for left-right control) of the receiver.

        
                                                                                                                                                                 

Before you start take a look at the procedure!!

• First switch on the  transmitter
• Switch on the Phoenix Board (throttles must not be moved – or must be at the neutral position) 
• Wait till the STATUS LED Blinks and the STALL  LED remains glowing
• Make sure Transmitter is ALWAYS ON before switching on or off the phoenix board

Characteristics of Sumo Robot

• Ramp Should always touch the ground, so that opponent does not tumble your robot.
• The speed of the motors must be less and torque must be high.
• The torque offered by the 4 square gear motors is 20Kg.
