RoboScout Internals: Trails: Complete Disassembly:

Separate Leg Frame

Remove the 4 phillips screws at the corners of the anodized brackets near the center of the leg frame.

Page 7 of the Assembly Diagram shows these screws as the only fasteners holding together the two halves of the leg frame. But in our RoboScout, the brackets were also tightly glued together.

To separate them, we used a stiff putty knife and tapped it in between the brackets with a small hammer. We discovered the brackets are very easily bent, so if you plan to reassemble, work slowly from the outer edges toward the center, rotating the assembly frequently and tapping in evenly from all directions.

The encoder disk for the body's bending movement is attached to the right arm-and-leg assembly. The gap arrangement is very non-symmetric (click photo for larger image).
