I designed the kit to be assembled without glue but you can add a little bit on some non-moving parts to make it more durable.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/nekoboss-exploded.jpg?resize=620%2C620\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1653\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by inserting the Keys (part <strong>K<\/strong>) on the back of the robot body. The back has no markings, the front has scored lines on the claws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/nekoBoss_instructions_1.jpg?resize=580%2C388\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1630\" width=\"580\" height=\"388\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next insert part <strong>Z<\/strong>  on the slot of the round wheel. It&#8217;s important that the longer section of Z is on the center of the wheel. Since laser cut parts don&#8217;t create a perfectly straight edge, flip the wheel around if you are having trouble inserting part Z. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"415\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/nekoBoss_instructions_2.jpg?resize=620%2C415\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1631\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now insert the wheel in the middle of the robot body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"415\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/nekoBoss_instructions_3.jpg?resize=620%2C415\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1632\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Slide the cat head on the top key.

The vertical slots accommodate the studs on part K and the horizontal slot should accommodate the small stud from part Z that comes out of the wheel. Press it down, there should be some resistance and a satisfying click. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"415\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/nekoBoss_instructions_5.jpg?resize=620%2C415\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1634\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Use two retainers, part <strong>O<\/strong>, to secure the big T part in place.
