Print It
Print out the following with a high resolution.
Attach the 9v Battery
Attach the 9v battery by gluing the heads of all of the bolts into the dedicated holes and securing them with a nut
Attach the Motherboard
Attach the Arduino. The nuts should be inside the robot, contacting the motherboard, not the other way around.
Attach the Motors and Their Gear Enclosures
- Insert and glue all the poles as shown on the model (DONT GLUE THE GEARS)
- Attach separate side parts and lids by using bolts
Place Springs
Place springs and 50mm bolts in the circled spots, and attach the top part. Nuts should contact the top part, not the bottom.
Do the Wiring
Place the breadboard on top of the motherboard and do the wiring.
Final Steps
Place the button and attach the proximity sensor as shown
