With the motors mounted, the leg axles can be added. Add the front axles first. The front of my robot is indicated in the first picture below. Take a 5" 3/4-10 bolt and insert it so it is sticking out of the frame. Next, add two washers and two 3/4-10 standard hex nuts. Tighten the nuts. Repeat this process for the other front axle.

Add the rear axles next. Insert a 3" bolt pointing out from the frame. Add 3 washers. Repeat for the other rear axle.

Finally, add three washers to each drive bolt on the motor linkages.
