                              INSTALLING AND WIRING THE
                              MOTHERBOARD


                              After the servos have been checked, the motherboard can be
                              installed in Questor’s framework and wired in place. To mount
                              the board you will need four 2-   2-inch aluminum corner
                              braces available at any hardware store. These are bolted in
                              place at the lower part of the robot’s upper framework where
                              the four bolts holding the two connecting pieces of the frame-
                              work are located. Figure 4-11 shows one angle in place. The
                              motherboard is then attached to these angles.
