the battery holder. Figure 4.61 shows the power switch and the 6-

are plugged into the board, make sure that the yellow wires of the
servo connectors are positioned to the inside of the board and the
black wires are closest to the edge of the board. Connect the left
and right limit switches to the controller board, as indicated in
Figure 4.59. The completed frog robot is shown in Figure 4.62.
