You will need the following items:
- (1) V5 Robot Battery (not shown)
- (1) V5 Robot Battery Cable (not shown)
- (2) V5 Battery Clips (not shown)
- (4) #8-32 x 1/2" Screws
- (4) #8-32 Keps Nuts
- (1) 11/32" Wrench
- (1) 3-32" Hex Key
- A built VEX EDR Clawbot (not shown)
When you want to wire the battery, you will also need the V5 Robot Brain mounted to your robot.
Use the wrench and hex key to remove the VEX EDR Battery Straps and the 7.2V Robot Battery NiMH from your robot before continuing.
