  Cut out wood chassis

  There are two options to get the chassis cut out. You can either print the PDF called template.pdf and glue this onto a piece of 4.75mm MDF or you can use the forcutting.pdf and get the wood laser cut. The laser-cut file is designed in such a way that it should only take a few minutes to cut your wood.  Either method will yield the same result. For more details see the video here

  Glue chassis together

  Glue the base of the chassis together starting with the back and the base. You should only need a good PVA glue. Note that the holes further apart vertically on the back go to the left. For the base, the slotted hole goes to the right and the large hole on the left goes toward the back.  For more details see the video here.

  Add the left and right-hand side profiles. Note the profile with the holes goes on the right.

  Glue the mounts for the Arduino on the back. I used nails to line up the holes but you could probably just do this by sight. 

  Glue the two motor mount cut-outs together then glue these to the base of the chassis between the two cable tie holes.

  Mount the Arduino UNO

  The Arduino UNO screws into the mount holes in the back of the chassis. The mounts might interfere with the components on the bottom of the Arduino. If this is an issue you can sand off some edges of the mounts to suit.
