The acrylic plate is covered with a layer of protective film. You need to remove it first.

1.5 Self-prepared Parts
18650 battery specification: It is recommended to use lithium battery above 3000mAh and without
overcurrent protection. The power supply current requirement is above 3A. Using 18650 lithium
battery with overcurrent protection function, 18650 battery whose capacity is less than 1700mAh,
18650 battery specially for strong-light flashlight, 18650 battery with power shortage or counterfeit
lithium battery produced by informal manufacturers will cause the unstable work of the robot,power
cut and even damage to the Raspberry Pi and robot.
The robot can be turned on normally,but the Raspberry Pi will automatically restart or shut down
after, also because of the problem caused by the 18650 battery.
