The book Make an Arduino-Controlled Robot, which is included in the kit, contains many helpful graphics and drawings during assembly. The best way to go about this assembly is to follow the steps here, but utilize the book in case you get confused or want to double-check something.
I will be referring to the book in certain spots, and will include specific page/figure references where I can. Please note that some steps of the assembly in the book will differ from this Make Project. This guide is the most recently updated, however, so use this when you have a choice!
First, solder together your Motor Shield and mount it on your Arduino Leonardo. Instructions for assembling the Motor Shield can be found here.
