Step 6: Attaching The Motors

In this step I simply attached my motors to the top side of the bottom deck using 2 #2 bolts for each one. You can see that I have a little bit of wire attached to each motor, this is because the motors were removed from my previous maze robot. Then attach the wheels by simply pressing them onto the motor shaft. You have to line the "D" shaped shaft up with hole in the center of the wheel.

thank you for this posting first and foremost, I was wondering do I have to have the same gear ratio or will any two motors work (i want to maintain your code to be consistent), also will the same code work on a arduino uno...Thank you very much for your time :)

No matter what motors you use, parts of the code will have to be changed unless you copy my design perfectly. Everything is based off of timing.

The same code will work on an Arduino Uno.
