Mechanical build & wiring — chassis, harness, strain relief
Robotics workbook — outlines, parts, tools, wiring, and control next to the video.
Mechanical
- Build bottom-up: chassis → motors → wheels → clearance check.
- Avoid pinching wires; add strain relief and zip-tie service loops.
Wiring
- Color-code: +power red, ground black, signals consistent colors.
- Separate motor power noise from logic ground per your driver’s datasheet (star ground practices).
