# Finish Assembly

> Confirm that all modules are mechanically integrated and that the robot is still powered off before beginning actuator calibration.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Assign actuator IDs before assembly**
>
> Assign and verify all 25 actuator IDs before assembling the robot. The robot will not work correctly with missing or incorrect IDs. IDs must be assigned one actuator at a time on the bench; you may need to disassemble the robot if you skip this step. See [Assign Actuator IDs](https://docs.menlo.ai/asimov/1/build/assembly-preparations/assign-actuator-ids.md).

Confirm that:

- both leg modules are attached to the pelvis
- both arm modules are attached to the torso
- the torso is secured to the pelvis
- the head and RPU are installed
- the front and rear torso covers are secured
- no cable is trapped or visibly damaged
- the robot is mechanically supported
- the battery is connected to the RPU, and the robot is still powered off at the battery unit

> [!WARNING]
>
> **You can finish assembly before applying threadlocker**
>
> If you are still checking the fit or orientation, you can continue to the next
> step without threadlocker. Do not operate the robot for more than **10 hours in total**
> without threadlocker: loosening bolts can damage the parts. Use the robot only
> for brief testing, then disassemble as needed, apply threadlocker, and reassemble
> the affected joints before further operation. Stop testing immediately if any
> bolts loosen.

After these checks pass, continue to [Set Up](https://docs.menlo.ai/asimov/1/operate/setup.md) in the Operate stage to calibrate the actuators and start the robot.
