Step 1 of 4

Base

Build the lower section of the robot: install the motors, wheels, sensors, and control board, then connect the wiring carefully.

1.1

Motors and wheels

Slide the metal hub onto the motor shaft until it sits flush. Tighten the set screw with the H1.5 bit.

Press the wheel onto the hub until it sits flush. Tighten the screws.

Repeat for the second motor and wheel.

1.2

Mounting on the chassis

Place the motors in the brackets and secure them to the chassis with M3 screws.

1.3

Line sensors

Mount the Line Followers on the chassis and secure them with screws.

1.4

Color sensors

Connect the cables to the Color Sensors. Then mount them on the chassis and secure with screws.

1.5

Voltmeter

Find the voltmeter opening on the bottom of the chassis. Install the display and secure it to the chassis.

1.6

Control Deck

Take the Control Deck and Motor Driver from the kit. Insert the driver into the deck and mount the assembly on the chassis.

1.7

Sensor wiring

Connect the sensor cables to the Control Deck. Watch the video carefully and check that each connector is plugged in correctly.
