STAGE 15: ASSEMBLING
ROBI’S LEFT FOREARM
In this stae you will start assemblin Robi’s left arm, beinnin
by fittin the thumb to the forearm frame. You will then prepare
another servo cable by fittin it with protective pads.
Robi’s left arm is symmetrical to his
riht, so the assembly process is
nearly identical. Aain, the servos that
operate his arm’s movement will be
fitted onto a framework, the forearm
section of which is supplied with this
stae. After startin the physical
assembly, you will o on to prepare the
servo cable that will carry power to
Robi’s forearm servo on completion.
As always, care must be taken when
handlin delicate electronic parts.

Turn the forearm frame over to check that the holes in
the finer mount are in line with the two screw holes in
the forearm frame.
Alin the left forearm frame and finer mount as
shown. The mount can be fitted either way up.
Line up the thumb and the forearm frame, notin the
position of the square tab on the thumb and the
matchin hole in the frame, circled in red.
4Fit two M2 x 10mm pan-head screws throuh the holes
and carefully tihten them to secure the finer mount.
2Press the tonue of the finer mount into the lon slot
in the end of the forearm frame.
6Press the parts toether so that the tab locks into the
hole and the thumb fits flush aainst the frame.

Next, prepare the servo
cable supplied with this stae.
As you have done with previous
cables, identify the side of the
connector with PUSH printed
on it. The protective pad will be
fitted to this side.
Remove a protective pad from
the sheet saved from Stae 3,
and press it into place as shown
onto the servo cable’s connector.
Repeat for the connector at the
other end of the cable.
7Turn the forearm frame over and check that the hole in
the thumb is in line with the remainin screw hole in
the forearm frame.
8Fit an M2 x 5mm pan-head screw in the hole and
carefully tihten it, to secure the mount.

STAGE 16: SET THE
ID NUMBER OF ROBI’S
LEFT FOREARM SERVO
In this stae, you will set the ID number of the servo that acts
as an elbow joint to move Robi’s left forearm, before fittin the
part onto the left forearm frame, ready for use.
The work in this assembly will be
similar to that of Stae 8, when you
wired and set the ID number of the
correspondin servo for Robi’s riht
arm. Even so, make sure you follow
the assembly steps closely, as it can
be dicult and, for the electronic parts
such as the servo cables, even
damain, to re-open the assembly
should you need to o back and
perform the steps aain.
Similarly, when settin the servo’s ID,
be absolutely sure you choose the
correct number, as Robi may not work
properly if the part is set to the wron
number when operated.

CONNECTING THE SERVO CABLE
3Take either end of the connector cable saved from the
previous stae and carefully fit it in one of the two
sockets circled in red. It does not matter which one.
Gently push it until it locks in place.
1Use a screwdriver to undo the four screws securin the
cover of the servo, and take each one out.
4Carefully feed the free end of the cable up throuh the
circular hole in the servo cover. Make sure that the cover
is the riht way up.
5Fit the cover onto the servo casin, then turn the servo
over and insert two of the screws you removed in Step 1.
Tihten them lihtly, as you will be removin them aain
in this assembly.
2Carefully lift the cover away from
the other side of the servo.
BE CAREFUL!
Try to avoid
touching the
circuit board
or electronic
components
when you remove
the cover from
the servo.
TIP!
If you chose not to fit the protective pad in Stae 15, you can fit it
now, which will help to secure the connector in place.

6Take the neck stand and unplu the black servo cable
from the socket on the left of the test board. Plu the
cable leadin to this stae’s servo in its place.
HELP!
If the LEDs flash rapidly when
you run the test at Step 14, you
have a faulty connection.
Double-check the servo cable’s
connection to the socket on the
test board, TURNING THE
POWER PACK OFF BEFORE
YOU DO. If the liht still flashes,
carefully unscrew the servo
housin and check that the
internal connector plu is in
place. If you pressed the wron
button, reset the board by
holdin down the TEST/SET
switch for several seconds.
9The shaft at the top of the servo casin should rotate 45 derees to the left,
stop, then move back across to 45 derees to the riht. After you have run
the test, turn o the power switch on the battery pack.
TESTING THE SERVO
7Turn the test board to ON. All the LEDs should blink
twice, then turn o to leave only number 1 lit.
8Now press the TEST/SET switch
briefly to run the servo test.

Tens
10 Re-familiarise yourself with the lihts and switches on the test board, which you
have used to set the servos’ ID numbers. Each time you press the UP switch, the ID
number increases by one, and the result is displayed by the two banks of LED
lihts. The top row reads in tens and the bottom in units. For example, to set the ID
to 21, press UP 20 times. This will liht up the 20 LED and the 1 LED. (If you
overshoot, press the DOWN switch to take it down one step at a time.) When the
ID number is correct, you set it by pressin and holdin the TEST/SET switch.
83
15 Once all is well, switch the power pack OFF, then carefully
unplu the servo from the test board. It will retain its settin,
ready to be fitted to Robi’s left arm.
11 To set the ID number of the servo to
21, press the UP button 20 times. The
20 and 1 LEDs should remain lit once
you have done this.
13 It is vital that each of Robi’s servos is prorammed to the correct ID number,
or his operation may malfunction on completion. To bein checkin the ID
number, leave the servo connected, switch the power OFF and then back ON.
Only the 1 LED should liht up.
14 To check the ID number, press
TEST/SET. Now the 20 and 1
LEDs should liht up.
12 Confirm the settin by pressin the
TEST/SET button. The 20 and 1 lihts
should flash, then o out.
SETTING THE ID NUMBER
CHECKING THE ID NUMBER
It is normal for the 1 LED to
light up when you switch on. It
will only change to give you the
ID number of the servo when
you press TEST/SET. If you
made a mistake and set the
wrong ID number, you can reset
it by going through the setting
procedure again.
ID=21
TIP!

16 Remove the two screws fitted temporarily in Step 5 and
discard the cover as you will not be usin it aain. Keep
the screws.
17 Now line up the open servo with the left forearm frame.
The servo cable will fit throuh the circular hole at the
top of the frame (circled).
18 19
Carefully feed the servo cable throuh the hole in the
forearm frame.
Press the servo into place at the top of the forearm
frame. Make sure the servo cable is not bent or cauht
in any way as you do this.
20 Usin the four screws you removed in Step 1, secure
the servo to the forearm frame.
The next of Robi’s servos is in place,
ready to be joined to the rest of his
body in future stages.
