(1) Attach two of the metal bracket 2x3 holes on the circle base by using the 3x8 truss head screws and 3mm. nuts 4 pieces each following the Figure 2. Turn the 3-hole side of each bracket together.
Figure 2
(2) Fix the BO-1 motor gearbox with the metal bracket 2x3 holes by turning the pink shaft outside. Insert the 3x25 mm. screw through the gearbox motor’s hole and the bottom hole of brackets out to the other side. Then tighten firmly with the 3mm. nut. Do same for another gearbox.

(9) Flip down the i-BOX3S controller board to open the battery holder cover. Put the 4 of AA size Alkaline or Ni-MH batteries into the battery holder. Make sure put the correct polarity of batteries into the battery holder. Try to turn on the POWER swtich of the i-BOx3S board. The green LED lights up to confirm the correct supply voltage for the controller board then switch off.
Figure 12
(10) Connect the motor cable to the Motor output. Check the polarity by turning the wheel, if pole connection is correct - LED at motor output will be green and change to red if turn back. If not, please change the connection to opposite. This is the simplest format of Robo-CIRCLE3S robot that is ready to be programed and run.
