If you are not that apt at soldering yet, please read these soldering instructions first before proceeding. Soldering is an art!

Although the robot kit does not require any special skills, it should not be assembled by a beginner without the assistance of an
experienced helper.

We do not only want you to gain experience when assembling this kit, but also later on with the finished product, e.g. when programming
it.

1. Never use soldering fluid or soldering paste when soldering electronic circuits. These contain an acid that destroys parts and conductor

strips. They may also lead to leakage currents or short circuits.

2. You may only use electronic tin "SN 60 Pb" (meaning 60% tin, 40% lead) with a resin core, which acts as fluxing agent and protection

against oxidation at the same time.

3. Use a smaller soldering iron with an output of 20-40 watt or (even better) an adjustable soldering station (approx. 50W). The soldering tip

should be free of scales to enable optimum heat transfer. The heat of the soldering iron must be conducted properly to the spot to be
soldered.

4. Perform all soldering work in a speedy manner. Excess soldering destroys components! This also leads to the detachment of the soldering

pads or copper leads.

5. Once the components are prepared, stick them through the borings in the circuit board. With parts that only have two or three pins, bend

these slightly apart on the bottom side of the circuit board directly at the boring (approx. 40º are sufficient) so they do not fall out.

For components with more pins (like the mounts for the ICs), it is sufficient to bend two diagonally opposing pins outwards. Do not bend
these pins more than 40º, as this is unpractical. Otherwise you will not be able to remove a wrongly installed part from the circuit board. .

6. To solder, hold the well-coated soldering tip to the soldering spot so that the component wire and the conductor are touched at the same

time. Then add solder (not too much!) , which is heated as well. As soon as the solder begins to flow, remove it from the soldering spot. Then
wait a moment until the remaining solder has spread properly; then remove the soldering iron from the soldering spot.

7. Do not move the recently soldered component for approx. 5 seconds after taking off the soldering tip. The result is a silvery and shiny

impeccable soldering spot.

8. Impeccable soldering spots and good soldering require a clean, non-oxidised soldering tip. It is impossible to solder properly with a dirty

soldering tip. This is why you should always remove excess solder and dirt with a damp (not wet) sponge or silicone stripper after soldering.

9. After soldering, the connection wires are clipped off directly above the soldering spot with a suitable cutting tool.

10. When soldering in semiconductors, LEDs and ICs, do not exceed a soldering time of approx. 5 minutes; otherwise the component will be

destroyed. The right polarity must also be observed with these components.

11. Use the following trick to mount the mounts or other parts that are supposed to be flush on the circuit board:

First solder the part on one pin. Then slightly press down on the part from the top and reheat the soldering spot (attention: the part may
become very hot), so that the part comes to rest on the circuit board. Now solder the other pins and liquefy the first soldering spot again with
a bit of solder. Once a part is soldered on, cut off the excess wire with an electronics nipper right above the circuit board/soldering spot
without pulling the pin.

12. After fitting, always check each circuit again to see whether all parts are correctly inserted and poled. Also check that no connections or

conductor strips were bridged with solder. This may not only lead to malfunctions, but also to the destruction of expensive parts!

13. Please note that improper soldering, wrong connections, wrong operation and equipment errors are outside of our influence. These errors

and the resulting damage to parts are also not covered by our warranty/guarantee!
