Summary

With that, you have built your robot from the designs provided. You learned how to measure patterns from a CAD design onto plastic and then cut and drill them. In addition, you now have experience attaching motors, wheels, casters, and battery boxes to a robot.

You wired the robot while following the circuit diagram and suggested breadboard layouts to build. Then, you powered up the robot and performed some troubleshooting (if it did not light up).

However, the robot will not move yet, as we have not implemented any code. In the next chapter, we will add code so that we can move the robot and control its wheels. Then, we will learn how to use them to make turns and drive at different speeds.
