In order to shorten the time it takes for you to assemble your FarmBot hardware, follow these preliminary steps.

Please note the two videos below are of v1.2 kits. We are still working on the v1.3 videos. Thank you for your patience!

Organize your parts

When you first open up your FarmBot hardware package, pull out all of the component bags and boxes so that you develop a full idea of what’s included, and so that you can place them on a table in locations that make sense to you. For the most part, components are already organized inside the boxes, but it is still good to take a look over everything.

Plan accordingly
