mePed v2 Assembly Manual v1.0

WARNING:

CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts.
Not for children under 3 years.

Wood Parts:

 
Before laser cutting the mePed, the wood was covered with a protective masking tape to prevent the wood from becoming 
smoke damaged.  You will need to peel the masking tape off each part before assembling the mePed.  If there is a little bit of 
smoke damage anywhere on the wood after peeling off the masking tape, a light sanding will quickly remove it.

Hardware:

 
Here is a list of fasteners and other hardware included with your new mePed.  The Servo Screws and 
Servo Mount Screws referenced in this assembly manual are included with the servos and do not need
