Construction is straightforward; you can follow the detailed steps or improvise if you want to customize your robot. The chapter also shows how you attach and connect sensors used in the projects covered in later chapters.
If you prefer to build a two wheeled robot of your own design, you should read the sections on attaching control electronics and sensors; this will prepare you to use the code for the projects in the chapters to come.
