Building your bot

Using tape or a hot glue gun, attach the motors to the under- side of the chassis, oriented as shown in the photo below, with the motor hub near the back and the longer end of the motor body toward the front. (Hot glue is a great semipermanent method for attaching things because you can simply scrape it away with a craft knife and remove the part if you want to reuse it later.) You may need to temporarily disconnect the motors from your breadboard circuit while you’re attaching them to the chassis, so just remember to reconnect them to the circuit after you’ve glued them down. Refer back to the diagrams above if you need help rewiring it.
