Assemble all the components onto the frame on their designated locations. This includes the battery, the control electronics (BeagleBone Blue/other controller), the sensors (IR / LiDAR), camera (if installed).

Connect the motors and sensors to the controller board as per the block diagram. A detailed plan will be provided as the project develops.

Switch on the board, let it boot with the prebuilt image, connect to it via a hotspot (and then connect it to the local network for development if necessary), and then proceed to load the software. A more productionized system will make most of this automatic, but in the initial stages, some amount of DIY is needed.

Load the self test code (To be written over the course of project development) and watch the robot move in all directions, spin up and down the motors and do a sensor check.
