Additional Tools Required - Parallax Stingray Manual

Preparation
Match the Bill of Materials against the parts in your kit to make sure all parts are present.
Find a clean workspace on which to assemble your robot. You might want to put down some
newspaper or cardboard so that the edges of the metal parts do not scratch the work surface.
Organize tools and parts prior to starting the assembly and separate parts by type to make it easier
to gather them during the assembly process.
Throughout the assembly process, when tightening screws be sure to get them nice and snug but do
not over-tighten them or you may strip the threads.

Additional Tools Required

Two hex keys and one Phillips/flathead screwdriver are provided. The following additional tools are required:
• Safety glasses
• Small pair of needle-nosed pliers
Safety first! Taking basic safety precautions is absolutely necessary when building the Stingray. The
assembly process includes steps where there is the potential for injury. For example, you will be installing
an o-ring which could fly off at high velocity if not installed properly. These dangers are minimized by
wearing safety glasses during assembly and using the right tools for the job.
