Farrusco is simple to assemble, all you have to do is follow this step-by-step instructions:
High resolution fotos are available here or you can click the images.
| Components list:
2 3*AA battery holders |
 By clicking the image you will be able to Identify each component. (items and components are subject to change) |
| First we start by placing the M3 nuts (with nylon rings) and the metallic spacers on the top side of the chassis.
Pay special attention the the chassis holes where the spacers go. |
  |
| Gather both motors and 4 * M3*12 self-tapping screws |  |
| Start with the motor with the longer wires and assemble on the position shown on the picture (make sure you don’t assemble it on the wrong side of the chassis) |  |
| The motor with shorter wires goes to the front of the chassis. |  |
| Gather 2 caster-wheels and 4 spacers plus 4xM3 nuts with nylon rings and tighten the spacers to the caster wheels. |  |
| The spacers should be fixed to the holes marked red on the picture, with the M3 screws. |  |
| Prepare the 2 small socket screws, the brass shaft adaptors and the hexagonal key. |  |
| Tighten the small screw just a litlle in a way that you can fit the brass shaft adaptor into the motor shaft. |   |
| Tighten the set screw enough to fix it. Tightening it too much may damage the plastic motor shaft. |  |
| The inner side if the wheel will fit into the shaft adaptor. |  |
| Use the M4*8 screw to tighten the wheel. |  |
| Both wheels are now installed. |  |
| Prepare the bumpers and the pvc support. |  |
| Firmly hold the bumpers into the pvc support with the zipties. |  |
| Fit the bumpers support into the chassis using another ziptie, we prefer to have the wires below the pvc. |  |
| Grab the battery holders, the power switch and the PVC sheet. |  |
| Start by fitting the power switch on the hole. |  |
| You can place the batteries on the battery holders at this point, and install the batteries on the chassis. Make sure that the power wires are facing backwards. |
 |
| Now it’s time to install the micro-servo, first pass the wires through the middle hole. The servo is screwed on the upper side of this board, on the opposite side of the batteries. |  |
| Fit the micro-servo with the M3*10 self tapping screws. |  |
| Prepare the Sharp sensor and the pvc support plus a couple of zipties. |  |
| The Sharp sensor must be snapped onto the pvc and tightened with zipties. |  |
| Prepare the micro-servo horn and two M3*6 self-tapping screws. |  |
| Tight the servo horn onto the pvc. |  |
| Tight the support onto the micro servo. |   |
| It is now time to prepare the Motoruino to be mounted on the pvc. |  |
| Slightly tighten the Motoruino to the pvc. |  |
| Remember to pass all the wires to the top side of the robot. You can also tight the screws into the spacers. |
 |
| The motor wires should be tighted into the screw terminals. |  |
| Use 4 jumper wires and connect:
Digital pins 3 and 5 to the Motor A input |
 |
| Now grab the servo plug and plug it on Digital pin 9. Pay attention to the white wire, this wire must be on the side of the Digital Pin on the Motoruino. The black and red wires must be placed on the ground and power rows of the Motoruino, respectively. |
 |
| Now connect the bumper wires on Digital pins 7 and 8. The black wire goes to any GND pin. |
 |
| Place the sensor plug on the Analog Pin 0. The same way as the servo plug, make sure the white wire is on the side of the Digital Pin. |
 |
| Connect the batteries power wires to the power switch. | 
|
| At last, you can connect the power wires. Red wire goes to +. Black wire goes to -. |
 |
| Your Farrusco is now ready to be programmed and controlled. Jump to the First Setup page to continue. |
 |
| As a final note, to replace the batteries first disconnect the power cables from the power switch, and then push the batteries holder. We advice the use of rechargable batteries, they last longer and are environment friends. |
