Prep for the Acrylic Canopy
Parts
From the Acrylic Hardware Bag:
- 4 Medium Screws
- 4 Washers

Steps
With the brackets still touching your building surface, find the four holes for the canopy support posts. They will be labeled “1” on the GoPiGo3 acrylic body.


Slide washers onto the four short screws.
Insert the screws (with washers on them) up from the bottom of the board, then attach the four long silver posts to the top of the acrylic.
