2 #8-32 Screws and 1 Hex Key are shown together.

You will need (2) #8-32 x 1/2" Screws and (1) 3-32" Hex Key.

Close up of a mounted V5 Robot Radio, with both of the screws in place to keep it secure. In this example, each screw has a Plastic Spacer piece. There is also a Smart Cable connected to the Robot Radio's port to connect it to the V5 Brain.

Use the screws and key to secure your V5 Robot Radio on the chassis between the two wheels.

This image shows the inside of the chassis with the V5 Clawbot on its side. As you can see, 2 Plastic Spacers 4.6mm were also used but they are not required.

Use a Smart Cable to connect the V5 Robot Radio to Port 21 on the V5 Robot Brain.
