Hi folks,
Now that more tinyBot kits have hit the streets, I thought I'd post a few assembly tips.
First off, don't over tighten! The screws only need to be slightly more than finger tight. The plastic the robot is made of can compress if screws are over tightened, causing binding.
Second, double check all orientations during assembly. Make sure nothing is upside down or backwards. Everything should move freely and sit flush, so if anything is binding or appears to be sticking up, chances are something is upside down or backwards.
Third, it's important to keep the servos in position while installing the arms and the rotating base, but after that you can move them all you want!
If you have any questions, post here!
