Facilitating the Build

What the Teacher Will Do:
- Tell students get into their groups with their assigned Workcells.
- Instruct groups to follow the Build Instructions linked on this page.

Teacher Tips
- Use the open ended wrench to hold the nylock nut in place while screwing in the star drive screw.
-
As students add additional cables to their Workcell, encourage students to think about cable management. Students can:
- Use zip ties to attach cables to the bottom of the base plate on the Workcell.
- Use zip ties or tape to hold groups of cables together.
