Instructions
Focus on the inner body of part , we will now install the rest of it.
Before you connect anything, check that the battery unit is switched off. The robot must stay powered off for the rest of the build, until Calibrate Actuators.
Take the Battery module and angle it as shown below to allow enough length for the battery power cable to reach the MCB power port.
Then, connect the battery power cable (red) to the MCB power port and slot the battery module inside part as shown. Connect it now: the torso covers close over this connector later in this step.
Take 2 - M4x20 flat bolts and tighten into the 2 holes on the front chest of part to secure the batter pack to the body.
Take part and put on the front chest of part .
Take 8 - M4x8 flat bolts and tighten into 8 holes on part to secure it to part
Turn the robot around so we can now work on the back cover.
Take part and put on the back of part .
Take 8 - M4x8 flat bolts and tighten into 8 holes on part to secure it to part
