Troubleshooting
Fasteners are not staying secure in thin paper

Cardboard piece keeps bending at the connection point
Reinforce the back of the cardboard with a small piece of tape or an additional layer of cardstock before punching the hole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up for a crafting session requires a clean, flat work surface and basic scissors for cutting the cardboard. Ensure all recyclables are clean and free of food residue before starting. The kit is compatible with most standard corrugated cardboard and paperboard materials found in typical households.
For care and maintenance, store the fasteners and tools in a small container to prevent loss. When dismantling a robot, carefully remove the fasteners to avoid tearing the cardboard; if the cardboard becomes too worn, simply trace the template onto a new piece of scrap to refresh the build.
