STAGE 10: CONTINUE 

BUILDING ROBI’S  

RIGHT ARM

In this session, you will attach Robi’s right upper arm frame,  

which will hold the servo used to give him shoulder movement,  

to the right forearm assembled in the previous stage. 

The upper arm frame will join to the 
forearm assembly at the elbow, which 
you will seal off from the rear with the 
elbow back panel also supplied with 
this stage. As you do this, you will feed 
the forearm’s servo cable through a 
small trough set into the side of the 
back panel and frame. It is very 

important that the cable fits through 
this recess freely, without getting 
trapped or caught between either part, 
as this may damage the cable and 
later affect the operation of Robi’s arm. 
Lastly, you will prepare this stage’s 
servo cable for safe use, as you have 
done in previous stages.
