This Object

Assembly is not difficult, I presume this is an entry level assembly kit.
I made just one error when putting the motors in place. The motors are soldered in position, and I assumed the lead marked with a red dot would be the PLUS. But after assembly, the bug ran backwards. I didn't feel like taking out the motors again, so I just twisted the wires.
