Mounting RoboClaws wheel spikes

Author: prigor@discord, Vermut@discord

There are two YardForce spikes on Amazon (and other sites like Etsy): Mibrobo and RoboClaws. This photo guide is about RoboClaws.

In short:

• remove wheels
• (optionally) pre-drill holes, but people reported success even without that
• attach spikes from inside
• assemble back

Results:

• much better traction on grass
• noise on paving
• probable damage to tiles

• 1 Remove the cover
• 2 Pry the wheel covers
• 3 Unscrew the nut
• 4 Pull the wheel to remove it
• 5 Align the spikes from inside so platic is seen in all holes
• 6 Plastic will cover approximately half of the hole
• 7 Optionally pre-drill 2mm holes, try to stay within plastic
• 8 Screw the screws, don't overtight
• 9 Assemble them back
• A Close the cover
