cyber:bot Robot Setup

Identify Your Hardware

This handout will guide you through selecting the handouts depending on what’s in your cyber:bot Robot Kit.  To do this, you’ll have to answer three questions:

  • Is the cyber:bot pre-build or in parts?
  • Is the cyber:bot Board Rev C, or Rev A/B
  • Are the Servos Factory Centered or Center-Adjustable?

Is the cyber:bot pre-assembled or in parts?

Is the cyber:bot Board Rev C, or Rev A/B

Are the Servos Factory Centered or Center-Adjustable?

The servo motors (servos) in the pictures below are the motors that will have robot wheels mounted on them, and they will make your cyber:bot robot move.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard any of the screws or parts that come with your servos.

Find the Servo Motors

They will either be in under the pre-assembled cyber:bot, or in the cyber:bot kit.

Identify Your Servos

  • Examine the servo’s black case near where the white/red/black starts.
  • If it has a small hole for adjusting with a Phillip’s screwdriver, it is called “adjustable”. This hole and the Phillip’s adjustment screw inside is called the center adjustment port.
  • If it has a Factory Centered sticker, it is called “factory centered”.

  • Make a note of whether your servos are adjustable or factory centered.
