The servo comes in two parts: a big, chunky black and white piece which contains the actual motor, and a servo arm (horn) to be attached on top. Do not install the arm horn right away, because it has an impact on the movement you will be able to get from the servo. 

The servo attaches to your robot in a different place than any other sensors. Look for 3 pins labeled Servo 1 or Servo 2 (you can use either one but Servo1 will be simpler to use!). 

In order to properly attach the servo to the connector, you need to line up the brown or black wire on the servo connector to the minus (-) sign on the red board.  You might need to flip the servo connector over! If you don’t pay attention to this detail, your servo will not work properly.

In shipping and manufacturing, the servo may not be in its center position. So before you attach anything to the servo, open Bloxter and select the center [servo 1] for [1] second block. Run this program and it will put the servo into its center position.

Now you can use craft supplies to create a hand or a tail. Once you create it, attach it to the servo arm, which you can now attach to the servo itself! 

Then mount the entire servo on your GoPiGo using the sensor mount from Mission 02. Make sure that your hand or tail will not get caught in the robot if it rotates too far or accidentally spins in an entire circle. 

To solve this mission, you will also need to attach the Distance sensor into an I2C port and mount it on your robot.
