Let's build! Assuming you bought a chassis similar to mine, you will be able to assemble it with these steps; for a completely different chassis, I strongly recommend consulting their documentation for assembly instructions. You will have a collection of parts covered in a layer of paper. This is to prevent the plastic from getting scratches, and can be safely removed. You can do this by getting a nail under it, or failing that, a craft knife. It's not essential to remove it, but a robot looks better without it. The next diagram shows how:

For a kit with a plastic motor bracket, you should now have parts like those shown in the following photo:
Robot kit parts
In the kit, you should have the following:
- Two wheels.
- Two encoder wheels.
- Two motors, with the wires.
- A castor wheel.
- The screws and brass...
