Step 17 - Mounting the Motors to the Herbie Body:
Motor alignment is quite important, so pay attention! We want to align the black top of the motor
with the top edge of the silver mounting pad on the inside of the Herbie body. We also want to align
the line on the edge of the motor’s flat side with the back edge of the Herbie body. Make sure to insert
the motor leads into the holes before pressing down on the pad!

17B: ...the alignment for the side of the motor
Important Note! Really!
Remember the fuss we made over the white dot and
the DSST? Here’s where it comes into play:
You must put the motor in so the white dot is closest
to the battery board.
Make sure it looks like picture 17C, ok?
17C: Motor installed so
the white dot is on the inside!
