Carebot Robot
Get hands-on with robotics by building your own bot from the ground up. In this workshop, you’ll assemble 3D-printed parts, wire up servos and an LED matrix to an Arduino Nano, and bring your creation to life
Make sure electronics are not connected to a power supply when assembling.
Test your components often during assembly.

Safety First
Make sure electronics are not connected to a power supply when assembling.
Power should never be connected to components while assembling.
Keep water away from workstation at all times.
Don’t use force to connect parts. Need help? Ask!
Otto Build Guide
Hey Listen!
Make sure to test as you build.
- Home each part of your robot before you add it to your 3D printed body
- Assemble slowly, try not to move components out of home when attaching.
- Run home after assembling to see insure components are where they need to be
Before assembling, run following code to make sure your servos are set to home! After assembling each servo, run this code and make sure that your servo’s position hasn’t shifted during build.
