Transforming Robot Handling the Servomotor 1 Orientation The photo to the right shows the servomotor facing you. There are two Wider Narrower (drive shaft） （movable shaft） shafts, the one with the wider space is the drive shaft and the one with the narrower space is the movable shaft. ★ When turning the drive shaft by hand, do so very slowly and gently. Excessive pressure when turning may cause damage to the servomotor. 2 Calibration and Setting Connector Numbers Before building your robot, read 6.

Transforming Robot ⑤ ⑥ Connect the extension cables to points and Servomotor side Gray Black as shown below.
Transforming Robot ⑦ Line up the robot and the Studuino unit as shown here. Cables for the servomotor and battery box should be facing the Studuino unit. Look at the pictures and make sure that your robot's body is facing in the correct direction. ⑧ Connect the servomotor's four cables to their correct places on the Studuino unit.
⑨ Transforming Robot Connect the cable from the battery box to the POWER pins. ＋ － POWER Make sure the cables are inserted correctly! ⑩ Lift the Studuino unit parallel to your robot's body. The servomotor cables will run between the Studuino unit and your robot's body.
⑪ Transforming Robot Look at the picture below to see how you should connect your Studuino unit. Left Right Make sure not to get cables caught between blocks.

Transforming Robot Making Your Robot Walk Install the software from the URL below to setup the Studuino Programming Environment. ★ Proceed to Step 1 when software installation is complete. http://www.artec-kk.co.jp/studuino/ ① ② Connect the USB cable to the PC and the Studuino unit. Refer to 1.3. About Studuino in the Studuino Programming Environment Manual for more details. Download the program file TransformingRobot_1.ipd from the URL below in the ArtecRobo section. http://www.artec-kk.co.
Transforming Robot Turn the switch of the battery box on and your robot will start walking. Immediately turn the switch to off if your robot does not begin walking as shown in the picture below. Not doing so may damage the servomotor. If your robot does not move, the servomotor may be in the wrong position or the blocks may be improperly connected. Re-read the Assembly Instructions to make sure that your robot has been assembled correctly.
