Gear assembly instructins needed
 

im sorry if this has already been asked, mi didnt find any resluts so here's my question:

Where are the Gear assembly instructions?
We have connected the CIM motor to the Gear Box of bane bots, and we cant find how/with what should we connect the gear to a wheel...

we seem to be missing an adapter which locks the hinge to a sprocket and then a wheel.


Thanks for the help.

The drive system is essentially the same as last year. The small sprocket goes on the output shaft of the CIM/Banebot transmission. You will need a key for the small sprocket. The large sprocket is attached to the wheel. Chain connects between the two.

Instructions from last year can be adapted for many different mechanisms. The best part about this competition is that is not a true kit. You have to design and modify instead of just assembling.

where is the key used to connect the banebots transmision to the small sprocket?

is it included in the kit of parts or does it have to be purchased seperately?

does anyone know the size of the key needed?

That's exactly what im looking for...

If you measure the width of the keyway in the shaft, that is the key size. Since I do not have one with me, I am guessing that is 1/8" square (per KOP checklist = 1/8"). Easy to find in the USA from McMaster. The key material is a little oversize and may need filing to fit. I buy the steek square stock instead.

This is not in the kit as far as I can see.
