Prepartations:

1. Begin with preparing your workspace. It’s best to have a spacious place to assemble your kit, like an empty desk or a large table.

2. Prepare your screwdriver and previously assembled nuts and bolts box. Keep in mind that your kit consists of three types of screws: 12 mm, 20 mm and 70 mm. All the nuts are the same size.

3. Don’t use too much force when breaking off wooden elements from the forms. Be careful not to break the parts. You can also use a small craft knife to cut the joints in the forms, but be extra careful when doing this!

We wish you a ton of fun during the assembly of your LOFI Robot kit 🙂 Enjoy!
