The R/C Snap Rover Kit uses building blocks with snaps to build
the different electrical and electronic circuits in the projects. Each
block has a function: there are switch blocks, LED blocks, different
length wire blocks, etc. These blocks are in different colors and
have numbers on them so that you can easily identify them. The
circuit you will build is shown in color and numbers, identifying the
blocks that you will use and snap together to form a circuit.
For Example:
This is the switch block which is green and has the marking
This is a blue wire block and comes in different wire lengths. This
one has the number 2 , 3 ,
the length of the wire connection required.

There is also a 1-snap wire that is used as a spacer or for
interconnection between different layers.
A large clear plastic base grid is included with this kit to keep the
circuit blocks together, it fits on top of the Rover body. You will see
evenly spaced posts that the different blocks snap into, these keep
your circuit together. The base has rows labeled A-G and columns
labeled 1-10.
Next to each part in every circuit drawing is a small number in
black. This tells you which level the component is placed at. Place
all parts on level 1 first, then all of the parts on level 2, then all of
the parts on level 3, etc.
Jumper wires are used to connect your circuits to the batteries and
motors in the Rover body. Snap them on as shown in the projects.
The colors are interchangeable, so it doesn't matter which color
you use.
on it.
Note: While building the projects, be careful not to accidentally
make a direct electrical connection across the + and – snaps for
the batteries (a "short circuit"), as this may damage and/or quickly
drain the batteries.
Warning to Snap Circuits owners: Do not use parts from other
Snap Circuits ® sets with this kit unless directed to do so. The Snap
Rover ® uses higher voltage which could damage those parts. Page
22 and our website www.snapcircuits.net has approved circuits
that you can use.
