Build Instructions
Teacher Tips
-
Notice that the parts listed are not scaled 1:1. They are relatively scaled to one another.
-
Keep an eye out for the blue coloring on the ends of the screws as this indicates which screws are locking and non-locking. It also helps to differentiate between different lengths of screws.
-
Notice that the Smart Cable's length is printed at the base of each connector end.
