Attach the Arduino (with motor control shield) and dc-dc converter to the back of the blue capacitor holder. I used velcro for attachment.

Add the "bump switch blade" to the lever switch bracket using 3mm screws. The blade should move very freely.

Secure the motors to the robot body (3mm screws). Add the wheels to the motor shaft (using the servo horn screw). Attach the capacitor holder to the robot body using screws. Attach the caster ball holder to the robot body using screws.

Insert the caster ball.

Set the output voltage for the converter to about 8 volts. Program the Arduino, charge the capacitors and she's ready to run.
