Preface

Thank you for purchasing the KXR robot assembly kit.

The KXR system enables you to create various robots by combining frame parts 

with servo motors as a part of the structure. The basic format is provided as a set, 

and sample motions are also included, so you can confirm the robot's operations 

as soon as it is assembled. Servos and main frame part components are sold as 

options, so it is easy to add robots in various formats and also expand the original 

robot. If parts wear out or break you can replance only those you need, so repairs 

can also be performed inexpensively.

Before beginning to assemble the robot, please closely read through this manual 

and the accessory manuals. You may want to print out the manuals to make them 

easier to read and reference.

This product is constructed for people of all ages to enjoy a bipedal robot.  However, this product is not a toy, and 

contains parts and tasks that would be difficult for young children to understand or perform.  For those parts and 

tasks, parents or teachers should provide assistance.

Please keep in mind that due to the nature of this product as an assembly kit, the motion of the assembled product 

cannot be guaranteed.  Further, due to the fact that the movements of the assembled product depend in large 

part on the method by which it was assembled, we may not be able to provide precise answers to your questions 

regarding operations.

The assembly and operation of this product requires the use of a personal computer (Windows Vista or 7,8,8.1,10) 

with a USB port.  It is assumed that the user has basic computer skills. Please note that we cannot provide 

answers to general questions or inquiries regarding computers or Windows.
