ROBI’S HEAD, NECK STAND AND TEST BOARD
Robi’s head contains a number of his most vital electronic components, which you will
begin to add in the coming stages. The first components you will fit, in Stage 62, are the
infrared sensors that identify movement and are set into the centre of his eyes. Then, later
on, you will add the LEDs that illuminate his eyes and light up his mouth to give him his
expressive character. The head will also hold key parts used for his voice-recognition
capabilities, and more!

Although you have disassembled the neck stand in recent
stages, you will be using it and the test board that it holds
again, so keep it safely until then!
USING THE NECK STAND AND TEST BOARD
Although you have removed the scarf, neck servo and head, you will continue using the neck stand, and the test board it
holds, to check or reset servos’ ID numbers. The process for doing this will be the same as before, though is actually a
little more straightforward, as you can now use the neck stand’s existing servo cable (previously used to connect the
neck servo) to connect to the servo in question. The steps for performing a servo test this way are found below.
1
Ensure the neck stand’s servo
cable is connected securely to
the test board, then set the
other end to the servo you wish
to check/reset.
2
Begin the process of testing/
resetting the chosen servo in
the usual way.
3
To complete the test, simply turn
the test board OFF and carefully
disconnect the servo.
