RoboScout Internals: Trails: Complete Disassembly:

Remove the Back

This part is shown in pages 4 and 5 of the Assembly Diagram. The diagram shows the front PIR housing and chest panel being assembled at the same time as the corresponding rear panels. We found it was easier to completely remove the rear first, and then remove the front.

Remove Charge-Display Panel. Unscrew the 4 allen screws (3/16" hex wrench) holding the charge-display panel. Lift the panel free and disconnect the charge-guage's electrical connector at the main board. On our model, the connector was labeled J14 and was located on the left side of the main board.

Remove Rear Body Panel. Unscrew the 4 phillips screws securing the rear body panel. Hold the panel up while disconnecting the main power switch from the board. This was connector J1 for us, also on the left side of the board.

Remove Speaker. The voice speaker is at the bottom of the robot. To remove it, disconnect its cables from the main board. For us, that was the connector labeled SPE. Then, push out the foam that's wedged between the speaker and the robot's body to free the speaker.

Remove Side Microphones. Surprisingly, RoboScout has three microphones. Two of these fit between the chest and back panels near the head, looking rather like ears. They fall loose when the back panel is removed. Disconnect them from the main board and put them aside.
