4 SRV02 SETUP AND
CONFIGURATION
As discussed in Section 4.1, the SRV02 can be setup with two different gear configurations depending on the ex-
periment being performed. Also, Section 4.2 shows how the SRV02 can be fitted with different loads.

The SRV02 can be setup in the low-gear configuration or the high-gear configuration, as pictured in Figure 4.1a
and Figure 4.1b, respectively. The high-gear setup is required to be used with additional modules such as the
ball-and-beam device, the flexible link module, and the gyroscope.
