| "The
Wicked One" CH3-R Mod
Updated 11/08/2006. This is the first tutorial of a series I have planned for this robot. In this tutorial I will illustrate how I hacked the Playstation receiver to take up less space, and it has the added benefit of adding two red LED "eyes" to the bot. |
 Wicked One completed. |

| Step
1. I first disassembled the robot by removing the top panel and moved the Bot Board off to the side, out of the way. I installed some 1" standoffs (cut down to 7/8") onto the SSC-32. |

2. Next I mounted the Bot Board onto the SSC-32 using some MF 3/4" standoffs. This will allow me to install all of the electronics inside the robots chassis. |

3. I disassembled the PS2 receiver and removed the large connector on the left of the board. |
