At this point, the robot is ready to move! Just upload some code to the microcontroller, and you're good to go. If you are powering up for the first time, leave your robot on the milk crate/supports so that its legs are off of the ground. Something is bound to go wrong the first time you start it up, and having the robot mobile on the ground is a sure way to make things worse and less safe. Troubleshoot, and make adjustments as necessary.
