PREPARING THE SERVO CABLE

9

10

Still holding the parts in one hand, tighten three more of the M2 x 6mm flat-head screws into 

the holes lined up in the previous step.

As you have done in previous stages, identify 

the side of the servo cable’s connector 

marked ‘PUSH’. Then, separate a protective 

pad from the sheet (Stage 3) and place this 

on top of the connector, making sure that the 

pad does not extend beyond the connector’s 

tip. Repeat for the connector at the other end 

of the servo cable so that both are covered.

Again, make sure 

the servo cable is 

still sitting in the 

recess and that it  

is not trapped 

between the parts 

in any way before 

you tighten the 

three screws!

7

With the parts held at a 45° angle to one another, line 

up the three circled screw holes with those of the 

forearm beneath.

8

Once you have the screw holes lined up, hold the parts 

together in one hand, making sure that they do not slip 

out of position.

Assembled 

right arm and 

servo cable

Robi’s right arm is nearly complete, 

ready to be fitted with another servo 

to operate his shoulder movement, and 

your next servo cable is protected and 

ready for use in the coming stages.
