ASSEMBLING ROBI’S EYES

10

Take either of the silver eye 

sockets and look for a small notch 

in the silver rim, above the two 

screw holes.

12

Holding the eye in place, take 

one strip of black tape and start 

wrapping it around the edge of 

the white border, peeling away 

the backing paper as you go. 

Make sure that the tape does not 

overlap the front of the eye.

13

There is more than enough tape to 

go round once, so continue wrapping 

when you reach the starting point 

– it is not necessary to cut the tape.

Repeat Steps 9-13 for the second 

eye and eye socket. You will see 

that there is no difference between 

the left and right eyes.

11

Insert the eye into the socket, so that the projection circled in Step 9 fits 

into the notch in the rim and the parts fit together snugly.

TIP!

If you have difficulty 

finding the projection 

indicated in the photo on 

the left, turn the eye 

over. You will see that the 

white border is slightly 

wider on one side, and 

narrower on the other. 

The projection is situated 

directly below the widest 

point of the white border.

Lay either of the eyes assembled in Stage 1 face down on your 

worktop. Find the single small projection on the outer edge of 

the white border.
