1The hardest part of assembly is the Wheels!
Hi,
Yes, the miniFloppyBot body, lid and face all simply snap together ... see the animated .GIF on this page: http://r2pv1.com/STL-Kits.html
It's getting the mini-servo motor horns connected to the wheels where adults need to help their younger children ... this is because the servo horns can only be glued or screwed (I do both) onto the wheels and the holes on the servo horn are only 1mm diameter requiring very tiny screws.
I use a small hand drill while holding the servo horn centered on the wheel to create a pilot hole for twp screws ... opposite each other on the servo horn.
After I have the servo horn mounted on the wheel, I use a small dot of Gorilla Glue on each end of the servo horn to help make a stronger bond than just the two small screws.

2Mounting the speaker to the lid ...
Hi,
I get the 28mm to 32mm ... 0.5W to 2W speaker to stay in place by adding a few dots of Gorilla glue around the edges of the speaker to the lid.One trick to this is making sure the wires that drop down from the speakers is on the same side as the speaker connectors on the RoboGuts™ circuit board. Besides giving you that little bit extra length for installing/removing the lid, it also helps to keep the wires separated inside the bot for easier problem solving.
This means that if you lay the RoboGuts™ circuit board with the programming port to the rear for easy re-programming the speaker wires should drop down the left side of the bot.
