Assemble in order.
Install the Robot Arm
Install the robot arm on the steel panel.
The vacuum pump required for the operation of the robot arm controller and suction pad is hidden in the lower part of the housing.
Decorate the Illuminations
Imagine the overall size, bend the LED tape, and fix it with a wire.
The connection points are prone to poor contact, so use a glue gun to harden them.
Also, the part fixed with the wire is easy to get injured, so bend it and protect it with a glue gun.
Play

Enjoy robots!
