  • Page 8 CHAPTER 1. Robot body construction. We start building SkriBot by constructing its body. What is its body? In case of a human it's a part where arms, head and legs are attached. In case of the SkriBot it is the main part to which we attach other elements such as tracks, sensors and gripper.

    CHAPTER 4. Connecting the sensors. When the robot's head is ready we can finally attach lights and sensors! In SkriBot, we use LEDs, small lights that will make its eyes flash in any color. Thanks to the range sensor SkriBot will be able to detect objects on its way and assess their proximity.

  • Page 28 CHAPTER 5. And what will we find under the SkriBot? And what can we find under the SkriBot? Just like a car, our robot needs a chassis. Why? It will form the basis for the robot's last sensor, the reflectance sensor, allowing SkriBot to move along the route we program for it.

  • Page 30 Step 18 Step 16 Step 17 Remember to route the wires from the sensors to the top - it will make it easier for you to connect them later. SkriBot Assembly Manual...
  • Page 31: Gripper Installation

    CHAPTER 6. Gripper installation. The robot's gripper has a function similar to human hands. We can use it to grab an object, lift it up or lower it down. When you finish playing with SkriBot and put it back in the box, remember to keep the gripper folded and raised.

  • Page 33 CHAPTER 7. Yellow shell installation. SkriBot is almost ready. Time to attach its shell! The shell of the robot - like the shells of insects or turtles, protects what is hidden inside. There are a lot of electronics inside the SkriBot, which should be kept safe. Always keep the shell closed, unless you have a good reason to look inside.

  • Page 35 CHAPTER 8. Tracks & battery installation. Time to assemble and mount the tracks. Perhaps they remind you of something? For example, look familiar to those used in tanks? They work the same way. They spread the weight of a vehicle over a large area and improve its grip on the ground.

  • Page 39 CHAPTER 9. Connecting the microcontroller. Finally, and most importantly, we connect the the brain of our robot! This is, of course, the microcontroller, which therefore has a function very similar to the human brain. That is why we call it SkriBrain. This is where all the information is stored and all the signals and programs are processed SkriBot Assembly Manual...
  • Page 40 Step 24 Step 23 To attach the SkriBrain you need to press it from the top into the Battery pack's tabs (marked in the picture) in order to lock the position. Make sure that all four corners are latched. Click SkriBot Assembly Manual...
