Cut three pieces of wire that will be the runners that the WEB1 slides on. The two side runners are 2 1/4” long. The back runner is 1 3/4” long. The side runners need to be bent into a “U” shape with the front part about 1/2” long and the back part should be about 1/4” long. These act kind of like a sled that the WEB1 slides across the floor on. The back runner is sort of like a big foot that pushes the WEB1 from behind. It should be bent into a square shape and soldered into the holes as shown in the picture.
18. Now you need to install the little motors on the circuit board. The mo- tors come with a silicone thingy on them. This will help keep the motor in place when it is running.
19. Now you need to determine where you’re attaching the motors to the PC board. To do this, take one of the motors and hold it under the BOT- TOM of the board so that it roughly lines up with the rectangular outline on the TOP of the board. This is just to help you place the motor in the right spot. Take a look at the picture below or the parts layout diagram and note that one pattern is at an angle while one is straight. The one at an angle is for steering the bug when it approaches an obstacle, the straight one pro- pels your electronic friend forward. It isn’t critical that the steering motor be angled, but this may improve the steering performance. There are many holes on the board for you to solder the
