Having received the box in the post from Robosavvy, I opened it to fix the KHR-1HV box, and also the RAS-2 accelerometer I had ordered well packed and in perfect condition. Time to get things out of the box and see what we’ve got. |

As anyone who is familiar with Japanese products and packaging, it will come as to surprise to them that the packaging itself is a work of art. Everything is very elegantly wrapped, and perfectly presented. After removing the card cover which the install CD decals and instructions are taped to, you are presented with a transparent cover to the components of the kit. It’s everything I’ve come to expect from Japanese presentation. All the packets of screws, wires and hinges are hidden underneath this presentation tray, and are all clearly labeled to make it very easy to find the component you’re looking for. |

The servos are a fairly standard RC servo’s so if you’ve done any RC work in the past these won’t be new to you. Each servo comes with it’s cable already attached (it’s not removable), and there are two different length of cable, and two different types of servo included. The main Servo in the kit is the KRS-788HV and forms the backbone of the robot. There are also two KRS-4024SHV’s included for the shoulders. The instructions included with the kit are, unsurprisingly in Japanese. My Japanese is passable, however I’m not about to start trying to build the kit with my current skills, so after a quick trip to Robosavvy’s forums, I’ve got the English instructions for both the 1HV and the RAS-2. Having read through them twice before even opening the kit, I think it’s time to get started. |
