Plan of Procedures

1.) Cut ¾” PVC piping into four 12” long pieces, four 9” long pieces, and four 8” long pieces

2.) Insert one 12” PVC pipe and one 8” PVC pipe into each 90 degree PVC elbow. There should be four elbows with an 8” and 12” pipe in each; similar to the item in the picture below.

3.) Now position the Tee connectors onto the 12” PVC pipe. Two should go onto each 12” PVC pipe, in ¾” from each end of the pipe. This can be scene in the figure below

4.) Now use the other four 90 degree elbows to connect these four pieces together. This can be scene in the figure below. There should now be two of these parts complete

5.) Next insert a 9” PVC pipe into each of the openings on all eight Tee connectors. This should connect the two parts you have and finish the structure.


6.) Now, connect one propeller to the left, upper 12” inch PVC pipe using screws. Make sure that the propeller is facing up and away from the structure. Do the same for the upper, right 12” PVC pipe. This can be scene in the image below.

7.) Next, connect a propeller to outside of the left, rearward 8” PVC pipe. Then connect another propeller to the outside of the right, rearward 8” PVC pipe. This can be seen in the image below.
8.) Now, the frame and propulsion should be completely finished. It is now ready to have the robotic arm and tether attached to it.
