To assemble you require:

  • 50x70x14 mm thrust bearing (1) 
  • Tension springs 6.3x22.5 mm (diameter, length) (multiple, we used 10)
  • Tension springs 5.5x20.2 mm (diameter, length) (4)
  • rounded furniture roller plate (could be replaceble by custom wooden or aluminum plate)
  • Multiple M4 hooks to fix the springs
  • M8 (maybe M6) bolt and nut to fix the rotational axis
     

The ball joint top and bottom snap fit into each other (use a little lubricant).

The thrust bearing fits in the rotational joint. This joint should be fixed by a bolt and a nut to counter. 

Tension springs can be installed depeding on your requirements.

 

The locomotion controller is described in depth in the following publication:
