Week 5 — Teardown, Sort & Rebuild

Activity 1 — Disassemble 36564 & Sort Parts

Take apart the 36564 robot and sort the parts into their bins.

Keep the motor + quad block + gear assembled as one unit — we can reuse that assembly, so don't break it down.

Activity 2 — Fully Disassemble 36563 & Sort Parts

Take the 36563 robot all the way apart and sort everything.

• Bolts go into a misc bag; all other parts get sorted.
• Any part with multiple components (like a two-part clamp held together with bolts) should be re-assembled with its pieces before it goes in a bin, so we don't lose the little pieces.
• We're generally combining parts and tools together — we'll see if we have enough.

Activity 3 — Assemble the Parallel Plate Bot

Build the parallel plate bot (or figure out what doesn't work) using the Kyle/Cam CAD.

Activity 4 — Build Part(s) of the goBILDA Starter Bot

Build some part(s) of the goBILDA Starter Bot. We think we have the parts for the shooter structure, and we should have some of the parts for the servo spinners.

We don't have the bigger gecko wheels yet — can we use the smaller ones?

3D-Printed CAD Parts to Make

Model these in CAD and add them to our custom_parts folder:

• A longer 2 cm REX shaft spacer.
• Our own version of a surgical-tube REX shaft hub.
