Function

Test Description Target Tolerance
M3 screws Insert M3 screws into M3 holes to ensure fit. Screws should be insertable without interference. N/A
M5 screws Insert M5 screws into M5 holes to ensure fit. Screws should be insertable without interference. N/A
Eccentric spacers Insert an eccentric spacer into an eccentric spacer hole to ensure fit. Spacer should fit snug without excessive play. Light tapping with a hammer is permissible.
Nut bars Fasten nut bars of appropriate lengths between holes according to FarmBot system design. Nut bars should be fastenable without screw/hole interference. N/A
Motors Attach motors according to the FarmBot system design. M3 screws should fasten without screw/hole interference. Motor shaft should be centered in hole and make no contact with the plate or bracket. N/A
