Finishing Up

You’re almost finished building ARobot. Finish up by doing these things:

Route the steering motor cable up though the rectangular hole in the robot body.

Connect the steering motor cable to the 3 pin connector on the controller board near the

body connector (see the controller drawing). Align the white (sometimes yellow) wire to pin 1.

Installing this cable backwards will not harm the motor or controller, but it will not work.

Use the plastic wire ties to attach the body cable to the robot body.

Use any unused holes in the body. You can also attach the steering motor and

the battery cable if you want.

Route the drive motor cable up through the rectangular opening in the body and attach

it to the motor connector on the controller board. It will only plug in one way.
