What's in the box?
- PCB
- Screwdriver
- Coin battery
- Acrylic casings
- LEDs
- Plastic bolts
- Plastic standoffs
To get two smaller casings from the kit,
you’ll need to break one large acrylic piece.
But please, be super careful when
doing this to make sure you don’t
damage the parts you need.
After breaking it, you’ll end up with two separate pieces of acrylic casings.
If you find there’s too much excess acrylic in the holes
of the casings, just gently push it out.
Remove the protective foil from both sides of the casings now.
Your casings should be all nice and transparent now.
Now, let’s dive into the
exciting assembly part!
Start by grabbing the
casing that matches
the one in the photo
below and gently place
it onto the PCB.
Now, take the battery and check that the plus sign is on the side facing you.
To make sure everything
stays in place, we’ll need
to secure these casings
with bolts and standoffs.
Here’s how you do it: put the
bolts in from the front and add
the standoffs onto the back.
Fasten the standoffs with your
fingers – no need for fancy tools!
This is what Robby should look like after you put
on all of the bolts and standoffs.
Let’s bring Robby to life
with some LEDs!
You get to choose which LEDs
you’d like to add to Robby, so go
ahead and pick your favorites.
It’s important to pay attention
to the polarity of the LEDs
as you connect them.
Flip Robby around, and you’ll
spot those + and - signs next
to each connector. These
symbols make it super easy
to get the polarity right.
Plus and minus signs on the LED
are marked with cut-off (-) and
rounded (+) parts on the LED.
Click the switch on the right, and the LEDs on Robby’s hands
will light up and stay on until you decide to turn them off.
Now, for a real fun surprise,
click the switch on the
left and give Robby a
little shake. His head LEDs will light up and gradually fade off, but
don’t worry, shaking Robby again will turn them back on!
We hope you had a blast putting Robby together and maybe
even picked up some new tricks along the way.
