Position servo ID=15 next to the free side of the head

frame, on the right side of Robi’s neck base. Line up the

servo cable leading to servo ID=14, fitted in this stage, to its

open face.

Bring the servo to the frame, and pass the servo cable

connected in the previous step through the circled cutaway.

Use all four screws removed in Step 24 to secure the servo to the head frame.

Join the servo to the frame, making sure the servo cable

is not trapped and remains neatly in the cutaway. Pulling

gently upwards as you combine the parts will achieve this.

Connect this servo cable to one of the sockets. The other

will not be used.

MAKE SURE THE CABLE

IS NOT TRAPPED

ATTACH THE SECOND HEAD SERVO
