2.2. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Attach standoffs to servos
Connect (4) of the 4-40 1/4" button socket cap stainless steel screws to the middle of the 5/8” 4-40
standoffs. The standoffs have a machined flat space in the middle against which the servo tab will be
seated when the screw is tightened. Press the standoffs against the servo body when tightening the
screws. This will ensure proper spacing when the servos are mounted in the Penguin body panels.

Safety first! Taking basic safety precautions is absolutely necessary when building a Penguin. The
assembly process includes several steps where you will be exposed to danger. You will be using a
sharp drill bit or X-Acto knife to enlarge a tiny hole, and tiny pieces may fly. You will be pressing ball
joints together, where a small slip can puncture your skin. These dangers are minimized by wearing
safety glasses and using the right tools for the job.
