Making the Frame

- Start by cutting out your crackers box into any car shape you want. I made mine a cab.
Starting With the Back Wheels

- Take your Rokit Smart kit and open it up.
- Take your two-wheeler Motors and put them inside your cab (look at the picture above if you don't know what a wheel motor is). Screw-off the wheels if the wheels are on.
- Draw a circle on the outside of the vehicle as big as the thing that I'm pointing to in the picture.
- Cut out the circle and put the thing that I am pointing to through the hole.
- Then screw back on the wheels
- Use prestik to stick down the motors
Adding the Proper Stuff

- Now it is time to put on your Arduino keyboard or board (look at the picture to see what I mean).
- Plug-in the battery thingy to the Arduino keyboard and put in the batteries.
Adding the Front Wheels

- Take your two black wheels from your Rokit Smart kit
- Take two bolts and two nuts
- Make two holes in the two sides in the front of your vehicle
- Put your bolts through the wheels and put it through the hole
- Cut out two squares of cardboard and put the bolt through them to.
- Put your nuts on the back of both your bolts and screw them on but be careful not to screw them on too tight.
Finishing Your Car

- Take your wires from the Motors and put them in your Arduino board
- The right motor should go into M1 and the left motor should go into M2
- Then take your Arduino board and switch it on
- Then make the Blue lights go to number six (look on a photo to see what I mean)
- Selected and then for blue lights should go on
- Use the remote control to go forward and backward
- Make sure your remote control is always looking at the Arduino board
- Push function one on your controller to make it go faster and function two on your controller to make it go slower
