Story

I love robots, robots are very smart! Because it can drive around corners and move along lines

They can even use sensors to detect the world around them and then react to those conditions

How to assemble your robot?

Step 1 Installing Motors

Attach Rear Motor Mounts

①Hold the motor (N) wires, then slide the rear motor mount (D) from the side and over the two motor wires.

② Hold the motor wire and gently twist the rear motor mount counterclockwise so that it snaps into place on the motor and the wire is in the center of the motor mount gap.

③Repeat. Make a second one and make sure it is a mirror image of the first one

Attach the Front Motor Mounts

①Slide the front motor mount (C) onto the protruding eyelet on the front of the motor (N). 

②Repeat. Make a second one and make sure it is a mirror image of the first one

Attach the Motor Assemblies to the Chassis

Place the two motor assemblies into the two horizontal slots on the left side of the bottom chassis plate (A). 

Attach the Wheels

Slide the two wheels (L) onto the plastic shaft of the motor (N). Align the two wheels.

Step 2 Installing the Line Sensors

Construct the Line Follower Assembly

Attach the three line follower boards (O) to the line follower mounts (I)

The wiring requires rectangular pegs in the follower mount to pass through the wiring and mounting holes in the follower plate.

Place the line follower mounting plate (J) on top of the line follower mount (I), inserting the center clip through the center slot of the plate.

Attach the Cables

Jumper Wire Color RedBot Sensor - Line Follower
Red GND
Orange VCC
Yellow OUT

Connect the 3-wire jumper cables (K) to each line follower board (O). Note that the yellow wire should be on the right (output) and the red wire should be on the left (ground).

Attach the Line Follower Assembly to the Chassis

Locate the wide, rectangular slot near the front of the chassis and snap the line follower assembly in from the bottom side of the chassis. Route the cables through the large hole in the bottom plate.

Step 3  Assembling the main body of the robot

Attach the Nub Caster

Snap the Nub Caster (M) into the slot on the back of the Bottom Chassis Plate assembly.

Add the Side Struts

Snap the four Side Struts (E) into the diagonal slots on the four corners of the Bottom Chassis Plate assembly.

Route the Cables

Position the Top Chassis Plate over the Bottom Chassis Plate -- but do not snap the two plates together yet. Make sure that the front sides of each plate line up.

Cable Connection Oval Side
Left Line Follower Left
Center Line Follower Left
Right Line Follower Right
Left Motor Wires (red and black) Left
Right Motor Wires (red and black) Right

Attach Top Chassis Plate Assembly

Line up the Top Chassis Plate on top of all the struts, and carefully snap the Top Chassis Plate assembly onto the side struts and motor mounts. Press gently above each side strut individually until they each snap into place.

Step 4  Attaching the robot's brain

Attach the Mounts

Snap the two mounts (G) into the vertical slots in the back of the top chassis plate near the large rectangular opening.

Add the board

The board snaps into the lowest of the notches on the moto:bit Mounts (G). Make sure the power jack is facing the left side of the robot. Push gently and evenly until it snaps into place.

Connecting the Cables

Once connected, the wires should look similar to the image below.

Connecting the Motors

Step 5  Batteries

Insert Batteries

Insert the AA batteries into the Battery Holder (P). Makes sure the batteries are facing the correct direction, as per the markings inside of the Battery Holder.

Attach Battery Pack

①Insert the Battery Holder (P) with batteries into the back cavity of the chassis. Position the Battery Holder so that the barrel jack cable comes out on the left side of the robot.

Insert the Battery Pack Clip (H) on top of the battery pack.

③Twist and position the clip so that it rests on top of the battery pack.

④Push the clip down into the vertical slots in the Bottom Chassis Plate so it snaps in place.

 

Congratulations on completing the assembly steps

Next let's install your extension and put it to good use to get your robot moving!
