Chassis Orientation

The first step in building your robot is to understand the orientation of the chassis.

• The edge of the chassis that is tapered is the front of the robot.

Set the chassis in front of you so that it looks like this:

Attach the Arduino

• Locate the Arduino in your kit.
• Turn the Arduino so that the power and USB ports are facing the right side of the robot.
• Attach the Arduino to the rear of the chassis using a double stack of double sided tape making sure to leave room for the 9V battery we will be using later

Attach the Circuit Board

• Locate the circuit board in your kit.
• Be careful inserting the circuit board so you do not bend any pins!
• Attach it to the Arduino making sure that the pins line up correctly.
  • Note that one side of the circuit board has numbers (8, 9, 10, etc.)
  • These should line up with the exact same number on the arduino.
  • Similarly, the labels on the other side of the circuit board should match the arduino.
  • Please ask a mentor to verify the circuit board placement
