From chassis to code, this clip walks you through essential steps to assemble your mobile robot — and get it moving smoothly.

Assembly Highlights:
• Secure the motors and battery to the chassis
• Check the orientation of connectors and use tie wraps strategically
• Mount the controller board on standoffs for a clean layout

Fine-Tune with Code:
Open the Arduino IDE to tweak PID parameters:
• Kp – responsiveness
• Ki – integral correction
• Kd – stability over time

Too nervous or too slow? You’re in control.

Once you’ve tuned it… your robot is ready to roll.
