1. Hardware Assembly

   • Mount all components securely
   • Connect according to pin configuration
   • Ensure proper power distribution

2. Software Setup

   # Clone the repository
   git clone [your-repo-url]
   
   # Install Python dependencies for control server
   pip install websockets keyboard
   
   # Install Arduino Libraries
   - WebSocketsClient
   - Adafruit_NeoPixel
   - Adafruit_NeoMatrix
   - ESP32Servo
   - ezButton

3. Network Configuration

   • Update WiFi credentials in both ESP32 files
   • Set WebSocket server IP in robot code

4. Launch Sequence

   # Start WebSocket control server
   python PythonWebsocket.py
   
   # Access camera stream
   http://[ESP32-IP-ADDRESS]/stream

• W - Move Forward
• S - Move Backward
• A - Turn Left
• D - Turn Right
• SPACE - Activate Battle Hammer

• Blue Detection: Robot ignores commands for 5 seconds when blue detected
• Collision Detection: 30-second lockdown when hit
• Auto-Attack: Triggers hammer when opponents within 30cm

• Rainbow pattern during normal operation
• Full red alert when damaged
• Status indicator for battle conditions

1. Regular battery check before battles
2. Secure all mounting points after matches
3. Test limit switch and color sensor calibration
4. Check servo alignment for optimal hammer strike

1. Use the autonomous features to your advantage
2. Keep an eye on the visual feedback for damage status
3. Time your hammer strikes strategically
4. Use the color detection system for defensive maneuvers

• Always operate in a proper battle arena
• Keep spectators at a safe distance
• Wear proper eye protection
• Have an emergency stop procedure ready
• Check all mechanical connections before battles
