Fitting Plastic Leg and Antenna Parts
Use these parts if you prefer to make the
assembly process as easy as possible.
Note: Turn the power ON before adjusting the angle of
the legs.
Fit each of the legs at
the angle shown in the

Assembly Variations
The WonderBorg has an Option connector,
allowing even more advanced remodeling.
The Option connector is on the underside
of the WonderBorgs rear end, and allows
you to connect one external load such
as a motor, or one external sensor such
as a switch. To use this connector, you
will need general knowledge of electrical
circuits, a 2.54mm pitch, 4-pin connector
(female) Morex type or other connector,
and the ability to perform soldering.
Care is needed when using the Option
Connector: creating an inappropriate
connection may damage the WonderBorgs
circuits.
Caution
Option Connector 2.54mm pitch, 4-pins
may have sharp points.
Specifications
OUTPUT Supply voltage: 4.5V, maximum supply current: 500mA, ON / OFF only
Out +: Current output connected to robot’s battery +
Out -: Open corrector
INPUT Mechanical electrical contact points (switches, etc) short-circuit resistance:
1kΩ or lower
Switch input A: Microcomputer input, pulled high (100kΩ)
Switch input B: Connects to GND (robot’s battery -)
This connector allows an additional motor to be added.
Pin Layout and Reference Circuit
Caution
If an inappropriate external circuit is connected to the Option Connector, this
may result in damage to either or both the WonderBorg and the external circuit.
Only connect an external circuit if you are fully aware of its specifications.

- Unpressed: reacts to sensor when Option is in State 0
- Pressed: reacts to sensor when Option is in state 1
Use a 2.54mm pitch, 4-pin connector such as a Morex.
