You will need the following items to mount the V5 Robot Brain:

A charged V5 Robot Battery
A V5 Robot Brain
A chassis with enough space to mount the V5 Robot Brain
4 Connector Pins to mount the V5 Robot Brain to the chassis

Mount the V5 Robot Brain using the Connector Pins

V5 Brain is shown mounted to the chassis. A diagram in the corner indicates that Connector Pins can be used to mount the V5 Brain using the holes on its side.

Hold the V5 Robot Brain where you want it to be mounted on your chassis.

Use the Connector Pins to mount the V5 Robot Brain to the chassis using the holes on the sides of the brain.

V5 Brain is shown connected to the V5 Robot Battery using its battery port. The Robot Battery is also mounted to the chassis.

Connect the V5 Robot Battery by plugging it into the battery port.

For more detailed instructions on mounting and wiring the brain, see theV5 Clawbot Build Instructions.

Connect devices to the V5 Robot Brain

V5 Brain is shown connected to devices on the chassis using its Smart Ports. In this example the V5 Clawbot is being built so the chosen Smart Ports correspond to that build.

Connect your devices to the proper ports on the V5 Robot Brain.

When building a V5 Clawbot, see the V5 Clawbot Build Instructions for proper port configurations.
