KSR5 – "SCARAB" ROBOT KIT

1. Introduction & Characteristics

Thank you for buying the KSR5! Read this manual carefully before bringing the device into use.

The KSR5 uses 2 antennae (touch sensors) to detect obstacles. Upon detection, it will move backward and follow a

two-step manoeuvre to help it overcome the obstacle. This manoeuvre can be determined by means of jumpers.

The Kit comes complete with 2 sets of differently designed legs, which move in their own distinct way. Fun and

excitement are guaranteed.

The KSR5 requires four 1.5Vdc AAA-batteries (not included).

Apart from the batteries, you will also need a pair of long-nose pliers, a soldering iron, a diagonal cutter, a

screwdriver, a soldering iron and a length of solder wire.
