Claw Bot Build Instructions

* Follow pictures if help is needed.

- Follow the layout as for all parts needed excluding (solder,wire,etc…)

Feet
- (2X) Mount a 4 piece 90* bracket ,with the holes on the outside, onto a 4 width
rectangular piece, sitting slightly back so you only need one screw.

Base
- (2X) Create your “pillars” by combining two dominoes and two u-bends
- (2X) Then Mount to your feet as far back as possible with your pillar hanging off
towards the other foot

- Then take your long off set 3 hole piece (length varies on robot) and mount to the
underside of your pillars connecting your feet
- (2X) Mount your servo on the beam connecting your feet 3 hole spaces from your
pillar
- Then place your second beam on top of your pillars and secure
- Lastly Fasten your servos down to your top beam

Ping Sensor

- Take a dominos and mount it ,with the two holes in the middle, to a 4 hole 90* piece

Claw
- (2X) Take two dominoes and combine them with two parallelogram pieces with the
triangle hole closest to the base and tip

- (2X) Attach your newly made claw to the servo with the two top most holes(bots POV)
of the base of the claw

Electronics Mounting
- (Optional) hot glue the edges of your arduino to a 4 width rectangular piece with 4
holes hanging off for attaching
- Glue your ping sensor to the domino in the middle of your servos
- On the back left glue your battery box (we used a 4x AA)
- On top of your battery box mount your switch
- Beside your battery box attach your arduino to the right most servo. If you didn’t put a
meccano piece on your arduino then attach how you see fit.

Electronics Wiring

- Wire your switch to your battery box (we have a double pole single throw so we cut
both ground and power with our switch)
- Daisy chain your servos
- You can either wrap your wires around your base to tidy up or you can also zip tie
them up to make a neat build

- Next you will need a


- 4 pin female header
- 4 pin male headers
- (2x) 3 pin male headers

- Next wire your output leads(If not already done so) and with them to your arduino (use
the holes in the meccano pieces to keep it tidy)
- Finally Wire to the pins as described.
- (Batt+) —> (Vin)
- (Servo+) —> (5v)
- (Ping Vcc) —> (5v)
- (Batt-) —> (Ground)
- (Ping GND) —> (Ground)
- (Servo GND) —> (Ground)
- (Ping Trig) —> (Digital 3)
- (Ping Echo) —> (Digital 4)
- (Servo Data) —> (Digital 5)
