13. You can add the adjuster clip (E) to adjust the direction of the robot if it moves towards the left or right. If the robot moves towards the
right, add the adjuster clip to the left leg to make the robot walk straight. Slide the small part along the robot foot (C) to complete the
calibration process.
14. If the robot moves towards the left, add the adjuster clip (E) to the right leg to make the robot walk straight. Slide the small part along
the robot foot (C) to complete the calibration process.
F. TROUBLESHOOTING
•Make sure each robot foot was inserted into the leg joint holder before the robot leg so that the robot does not wobble. Refer back to
step 5 and 6 to check if the foot and leg were inserted properly into the leg joint.• Add cooking oil or lubricant to the gears inside the
gearbox if the robot isn't moving smoothly.• Check that the end of each robot arm is in front of the robot legs to prevent damaging any
robot parts.• Check if the wires connected in step 4 are secured properly by the peg. Make sure the wires are only connected to like
colors.• Make sure the AAA batteries are inserted in the correct direction. •If the robot is not walking straight, check if the robot's feet
make solid contact with the ground. Slightly bend and adjust the metal wires of the robot feet so that they contact the ground properly on
each step.
G. HOW IT WORKS
The circuit you created by connecting the battery case to the gearbox and robot head allows an electrical current to flow smoothly when
the battery is turned on. The on switch completes the circuit and lets an electrical current flow into the gearbox and robot eyes, bringing
the Wacky Robot to life! This happens because a battery always has two poles; a positive one and anegative one. At the positive pole,
there are very few electrons, while there are a lot of electrons at the negative pole. If the positive and negative poles are connected,
electrons move to correct the imbalance, creating an electrical current. The robot head and gearbox are then able to transform the energy
from the electrical current into movement and light.
H. FUN FACTS
•Ateam at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology created asprinting robot inspired by a velociraptor dinosaur. The robot, named
raptor, has two nimble legs and aflexible tail so it can balance itself while running at a top speed of 46 kilometers an hour. That is even
faster than the Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt’s top speed!• There are over a million industrial robots in use today! Over half of them
are working hard for people in Japan!• The term 'robot' comes from the Czech word 'Robota', that means 'hard work' or 'forced labor'. A
great name for these human inventions that help humans complete lots of work without getting tired or making a mistake!• Asimo, a
humanoid robot created by Honda, is the most expensive robot and cost $2.5 million to build. It was created as part of Honda's research
and development robotics program.

7. Slide the top of the robot leg up through the small horizontal hole at the right side of the gearbox. The robot foot should face inwards as
shown. Then secure the top hole of the leg joint to the circular joint at the bottom of the gearbox with a flat top screw. Repeat this process
with the other leg on the opposite side.
8. Attach the right robot arm (E) to the gearbox joint above the right leg joint with a flat top screw. The joint at the end of the arm should
press against the front of robot leg. This will allow the arms to move in sync with the legs. Repeat this process with the left robot arm (F)
on the left side of the robot.
9. Insert 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries. Secure battery case cover (L) on top with a small screw.
E. OPERATION
10. Turn the battery on by flipping the switch on at the top of the battery case.
11. The red LED eyes of your Wacky Robot will turn on while it walks! And watch the cool way the legs and arms move in sync with each
other.
12. Insert the optional jaw (G) included in this kit to the back of the LED robot eyes as shown to make the robot lookm ore wacky.
1. Attach the battery case (K) to the gearbox (A) with two small screws (N).
2. Insert the long joint at the back of the LED robot eyes onto the semi-circular joint at the front of the gearbox as shown.
3. Connect the three black wires from the robot's eyes, gearbox and battery case together in the gearbox's left hole with a terminal cap
(H) as shown. Repeat the process with the three red wires in the other hole.
4. Insert the bend in the middle of the robot foot (C) around the leg joint's (I) smaller hole. The wire should fit into the diagonal slots next
to the smaller hole as shown.
5. Insert the robot leg (B) into the leg joint. Make sure the robot leg is placed on top of the robot foot with the bend inserted around the
leg joint's big hole. Place a leg joint cover (J) over the leg joint. Secure the connection between the robot's leg and foot by screwing in a
flat top screw (M) into the leg joint hole that is closer to the robot foot.
6. Repeat step 5 & 6 to create the second robot leg. Each completed robot leg should look like this.
