Connecting the Cables

It is time to connect the jumper wires; it is really important that these connections are right.

Follow along with the tables and annotated image with the cables connected for reference. Trace each cable
poking through the top chassis plate to make sure you know what it is connected to.

Please Note:

When you have the micro:bot upright and the front of the chassis facing away from you, "left"

sensors/motors will be on the left side and "right" sensors/motors will be on the right side. Also, the motor
wires are intentionally switched for the right motor -- see notes below.

Line Followers

Below is a table for each connection between moto:bit and analog line follower. Start with the left line follower.
