Step 9Mount the Circuit Boards
Detach the perfboard from the circuit board, if they are still connected together. You may want to put a layer of foam between the perfboard and the fabric, but this is optional. I didn't. Feed the switches through the holes and tighten down the second set of nuts to hold the perfboard in place.
Realign the circuit board with the perfboard, first feeding the potentiometer shafts through the holes on either side of the robot's head. Then tighten the screws that attach the circuit board to the perfboard, and tighten the nuts on the potentiometers. The two screws closest to the robot's face are tricky to access, I fed a screwdriver through the robot's body and through the next to get to them. Don't worry, he was heavily sedated and didn't feel a thing.
I also cut a small piece of craft foam to place between the circuitry and the stuffing. This is optional and probably won't matter if you don't include it.
Plug in the battery and make sure that everything still works.
