Small cams
These small cams
control when the
pressure is released
in the suction cups.
When the tip
presses on the valve
and opens it, the
suction cups lose
their pressure.
Dual valve
When the pressure relief
buon is not pressed in,
the valve is closed. When
the geckobot lifts its
foot, the buon must be
pushed in to release the
pressure at the suction
cup. Each of the two
dual valves has two sets
of release buons and
tube connectors.
These two tips
must be placed on
the axle so that
one tip is rotated
180 degrees from
the other.
Top view
Slide the small cam assembly into the motor box so that the
top cam tip points to the back right.
Side view
Note the direction
of the small cams
and valve buons.
The valves need to
face inward,
toward the cams.
