Build the arm from Trossen Robotic's website.

Then connect all the servo as listed:

1. Wrist servo to DIO9

2. Base Servo to DIO3

3. Shoulder Servo to DIO5

4. Elbow Servo to DIO7

Get a small electric screwdriver and cut off the extra handle part. Then run two wires from the screwdriver, and connect it to a 3v battery pack. In the pack, solder a wire from one end of one battery slot to another. Then put 2 AA batteries in the pack.
