Hexabot: Build a heavy duty six-legged robot!

Step 18: Mount the electronics enclosure

With the wiring completed, you can mount the enclosure to the frame. I drilled two holes in my enclosure, then placed the enclosure on the robot and used a punch to transfer the position of the holes to the frame. I then drilled holes in the frame for two sheet metal screws, which secure the enclosure to the frame. Add the Arduino battery, then close it up!

The location of the enclosure is up to you. I found mounting it between the motors to be the most convenient.

If you plan on riding on it, no. Otherwise, it may work with no load on the robot.

not for riding on it ,if riding on it what is the capacity of batteries means voltage and current

[rpantaleo]

One or two batteries like this should be sufficient.
