The robot ended up non-portable, as it would not run on a 9V battery, the maximum I could supply, this meant it would always need to be tethered to a USB port.

I connected the ultra-sonic sensor to the front of the device, and the servo motor on the left of the robot. The device is mostly secured together using electric insulation tape.

The LED lights were arranged into 4 groups of two, I later changed the colour of two of these groups to green and yellow, indicating an increase in danger as Lance-Mite saw you. I plugged a cable from their positive pin to the Arduino Uno.

All of my wires used to command different elements of the Arduino were plugged into these pin sockets, I attempted to organise them by colour but didn’t always have the desired colours available.

I plugged a wire from the 5V pin of the Arduino into the + (red line) seen on the bread board, and a wire from ground on the Arduino to the negative (blue line). I bridged the ground to make sure it covered the whole board, this was necessary to ground the LED lights which also required resistors so they wouldn’t pop! I used the power relay seen on the left to increase the power output available for the wheel motors.
