The following is a rough guideline for assembly of the robot. It largely contains steps for assembly of major mechanical components.
Expansion of these steps could include:<br>
- Drive Module Assembly<br>
- Dribbler Assembly<br>
- Electrical Board Integration and Wiring<br>
- Renderings and Diagrams<br>
<br>

== '''Robot assembly integration should follow order shown here.''' ==

<br>
'''Chipper Arm Assembly'''
<br>
<br>
Parts: Bearings, Chipper Arms, 1/16� Pins, Kicker Boot,  � Inch 6-32 Socket Cap Screws, front solenoid mount (L-block)
<br>
<br>
1. Attach bearing to arm with pin, using press<br>
2. Place arm onto boot and press pin into both from outside face of arm<br>
3. Press bearing onto other arm<br>
4. Place arms with bearings onto sides of L-Block and press pin into second arm and boot<br>
5. Screw arms and boot together using green or blue Locktite.
<br><br>
'''Kicker-Chipper Assembly with Bottom Plate and Dribbler'''
<br><br>
Parts: Kicker plunger, bobbin, rear solenoid mount, center solenoid mount, kicker spring, chipper arm assembly, (�, 3/8, and 5/8 inch) 6-32 Socket Cap Screws, dribbler assembly, chipper solenoid, 12-24� screws
<br><br>
1. Take kicker plunger assembly with kicker boot removed a d insert spring into plunger, with small end of spring facing kicker plunger plate<br>
2. Insert plunger through back of lower hole of the center solenoid mount<br>
3. Place bobbin onto kicker plunger and insert into center solenoid mount<br>
4. Place chipper arm assembly onto front of bobbin and insert plunger through L-Block<br>
5. Attach kicker boot to plunger with 3/8� 6-32 Socket Cap Screw<br>
6. Place chipper solenoid into center solenoid mount and screw on solenoid nut<br>
7. Place rear solenoid mount onto back of chipper solenoid with wire coming out on right side and fasten rear solenoid mount to center solenoid mount with 12-24 screws-'''Do not tighten'''.<br>
8. Place chipper plunger into chipper solenoid<br>
9. Attach dribbler and kicker-chipper assembly to bottom plate, but screw the screws in only about � to � of their full depth<br>
10. Take rubber band on dribbler and wrap around chipper plunger bar while inserting the bar int o the chipper arm slots.<br>
11. Tighten all screws fully into the bottom of the chipper-kicker assembly and dribbler assembly<br>
12. Tighten 12-24 screws that connect center solenoid mount to rear solenoid mount
<br><br>
'''Wheel Module Integration'''
<br><br>
1. Screw wheel modules into bottom plate while having motor and encoder wires facing towards the pitch axis (lateral center-line) of robot
<br><br>
'''Electronics Stack Assembly'''
<br><br>
Parts: Kicker Board, Electronics Board, standoffs top plate, 1/4� 6-32 Socket Cap Screw
<br><br>
1. Attach electronics board and kicker board together with standoffs. And then attach to top plate.<br>
2. Attach top plate to tops of drive motors modules<br>
3. Attach standoffs for shell
