Wires to the leaf switches and fuse holder will have to be
soldered. The wires that lead to the barrier strips should
have hooks bent at their ends so they can wrap around the
screws on the strip. After the board is wired, check it against
Fig. 4-8 because errors here can affect the function of the
rest of the robot. Also at this time, install four 20-amp fuses
in the fuse holder. These fuses help protect the robot’s com-
ponents from short circuits and overloads. Once the board
is wired and checked, the remote control receiver can
be mounted and the motherboard mounted in Questor’s
framework.
