Procedure
- Position the parts on each screw in this order:
- QTI with parts facing the same direction as the screw’s head
- 1/16” nylon washer
- 1/8" nylon washer.
- Connect each screw (with its QTI and washers) to a front standoff (by the plow).
- Make sure the pins of each QTI point inward -toward the slot where you just inserted the cables.
- Connect the cables you fed through the chassis to each QTI.
- Make sure that each cable’s:
- White wire is connected to the QTI’s W pin
- Red wire is connected to the QTI’s R pin
- Black wire is connected to the QTI’s B pin
- Set the SumoBot face down on the table with its underside facing toward you, and identify the left and right QTIs.
- Follow the cable from the left QTI to its other end, and mark it L with masking tape.
- Repeat for the right cable.
- Connect the QTI marked L to the P13 header and the QTI marked R to the P14 header.

- Black wire is connect to the pin labeled GND
- Red wire is connected to the pin with a label that begins with P (like P13 and P14).
