Re: Problem assembling 6WD wheels from KOP

So the questions are: 1) Is it normal to have to use force to put wheels and spacers into position? and 2) Will the wheels being on different levels be a huge problem?

Any help would be useful, Thanks!
The Kitbot is designed for "drop center" 6WD, that is the center wheels are 1/8" lower than the end two. This is done to making turning on carpet easier. Make sure that the center hole is indeed lower than the outer rails on both the inside and outer chassis rails. When our students assembled the Kitbot to start prototyping, they overlooked this and two of their chassis rails were upside down, meaning the drive shafts were crooked.

You shouldn't have to use force to get the spacers in. Double check all the spacing and mounting locations.
