 ## Motor Subassembly
 
+Insert a motor cable into one of the motors. Note the ridges on the connector, it can only be installed in one orientation.
+
+![Cable installed in a motor](./_images/assembly/cable_in_motor.webp)
+
+Take a motor and place it in a motor mount.
+
+![Motor in motor mount](./_images/assembly/motor_in_mount.webp)
+
+Add a motor spacing shim on top of the motor.
+
+![Motor with spacing shim installed](./_images/assembly/add_motor_shim.webp)
+
+Repeat with the other motor, making sure the second assembly is mirrored to the first.
+

 ## Body Assembly
 
-## First Power On
+At the base of the circuit board, there are cutouts for the motor mount to slot into place.
+Insert the circuit board into the gap...
+
+![Inserting the circuit board into the motor mount](./_images/assembly/before_mounting_motor.webp)
+
+... then guide the other end of the motor mount up through the slots in the PCB.
+
+![Guiding the mount up into the board](./_images/assembly/after_mounting_motor.webp)
+
+Place a motor attachment shim over the parts of the motor mount exposed above the board.
+Push the attachment shim up and into place, locking the motor into place.
+The hole in the attachment shim should line up with the bolt hole in the circuit board.

+<img alt='Attachment shim pushed up' src='./_images/assembly/attachment_shim_after.webp' width="47%"/>
+
+Repeat with the other motor.
+
+![Both motors attached to the board](./_images/assembly/both_motors_attached.webp)
+
+Flip the robot over.
+Insert the motor cables into their connectors.
+
+![Attaching the motor cables](./_images/assembly/attaching_motor_cables.webp)
+
+Insert the LiDAR cable into the bottom of the LiDAR.
+
+![Inserting LiDAR cable into LiDAR](./_images/assembly/add_lidar_cable.webp)
+
+Place the LiDAR on top of the circuit board, making sure the cable passes through the hole.
+

+<img alt='Cable coming out the other side' src='./_images/assembly/lidar_cable_below.webp' width="50%"/>
+
+Using the provided hex key, attach the LiDAR to the rover's body using the bottom two mounting points.
+For now, leave the third screw unattached.
+
+![Attaching the LiDAR using the machine screws](./_images/assembly/screw_in_lidar_back.webp)
+
+On the back, insert the LiDAR cable into its connector.
+
+![Attaching the LiDAR cable](./_images/assembly/attach_lidar_cable.webp)
+
+On the front of the rover, there are cutouts for attaching the skid.
+Line the skid up with the cutouts, and push it on.
+Use the final screw to attach the front skid. 
+
+<img alt='Front skid before attachment' src='./_images/assembly/front_skid_before.webp' width="48%"/>
+<img alt='Front skid after attachment' src='./_images/assembly/front_skid_after.webp' width="49%"/>
+
+Insert the battery into the back of the rover.
+Take note of polarity - the positive side of the battery (the end with a bump) goes towards the left.
+
+<img alt='Empty battery holder' src='./_images/assembly/battery_empty.webp' width="50.5%"/>

+
+Congrats! Your robot is assembled!

 ## Care for Your Rover
 
+The rover has a USB C port which you can use to charge the battery.
+Two red status LEDs, directly below charging port, show the charging status.
+
+The first LED, labeled CHARGING, lights up when the battery is actively being charged.
+Once the battery is fully charged, this light will turn off.
+
+The second LED, labeled PWR GOOD, lights up when a valid power supply is attached.
+
 > [!WARNING]
 > **Never charge Little Red Rover unattended.**
 >
-> If something goes wrong during the charging process, lithium batteries, like the one contained in the rover, are a serious fire hazard. If the battery becomes hot, smokes, swells, or gives off an odor during charging, immediately stop charging and dipose of the battery safely.
