+</div>
+
+## Step 5. Putting the car together
+
+First, use the screws that came with the MG995/MG996 servo to attach the direction arms to both the Linchpin and the servo arm.
+
+Then secure the servo arm into the servo spline using the M3x5 screw provided in the Servo package.
+
+Finally, place the Upper Chassis and use screws to connect it to the Hex Spacers.
+
+<div align="center">

+</div>
+
+Pass the rod into the UpperPlate and screw the rod to fix it in place.

+
+# ✏️ Creating a 3D Logo for Your Team in Fusion 360
+
+## 🧱 Main Steps
+- **Sketching**: The starting point for most 3D modeling tasks. Create a 2D profile on a plane.
+- **Extruding**: Turn the 2D sketch into a 3D solid by pulling it in a specific direction.
+
+---
+
+## 🔹 Step 1: Create a New Design File
+- Open Fusion 360.
+- Go to **File > New Design** or press `Ctrl + N`.
+- Save the file (`Ctrl + S`) with a meaningful name like `Sketch_Extrude_Example`.
+
+---
+
+## 🔹 Step 2: Create the Logo Body
+
+### 1. **Create a New Sketch**
+1. Click on the **“Create Sketch”** button in the toolbar.
+2. Select a **plane** to draw on:
+   - XY (top view)
+   - XZ (front view)
+   - YZ (side view)
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/CreateSketch.png)
+
+---
+
+### 2. **Drawing the Base Shape (Rectangle)**
+Use the sketch tools from the **Sketch menu** to create the base shape:
+- From the **Sketch** menu, select the **Rectangle** tool.
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/schetchtools.png)
+
+- Choose the **Center Rectangle** option.
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/centerrectangle.png)
+
+- Draw a rectangle with dimensions **50 x 20 mm**.
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/drawrectangle.png)
+
+### 3. **Adding the Logo Text**
+- Select the **Text** tool from the **Create** menu.
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/TEXT.png)
+
+- Type the desired text and choose your preferred font and style.
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/formattext.png)
+
+- Position the text inside the rectangle.
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/logoandrectangle.png)
+
+### 4. **Centering and Applying Constraints**
+To keep the logo in place even if the rectangle is resized:
+- Use the **Constraints** tool to center the logo inside the rectangle.
+- Apply corner constraints to align the logo with the rectangle.
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/constraints.png)
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/cornerconstraints.png)
+
+- Final constrained sketch result:
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/sketchresult.png)

+
+## 🔹 Step 5: Create the Pipe Clamp
+
+### 1. **Open Sketch1**
+- Double-click **Sketch1** in the Browser.
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/Sketch1.png)
+
+### 2. **Draw Clamp Rectangle**
+- Place a rectangle centered within the logo rectangle.
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/clamp_rectangle.png)
+
+### 3. **Extrude the Clamp Rectangle**
+- Exit sketch mode.
+- Use the **Extrude** tool and set the depth to 20 mm.
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/rectangle_extrude.png)
+
+### 4. **Create Sketch for the Pipe Hole**
+- Create a sketch on the top face of the clamp.
+- Draw a circle 8 mm from the logo, centered left-to-right.
+- Add two parallel lines from the circle to the rectangle edge (to allow pipe insertion and locking).
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/pipie_hole.png)
+
+### 5. **Extrude the Hole**
+- Exit the sketch.
+- Use **Extrude**, select the circle and area between the lines.
+- Set **Extent Type** to "To Object" and select the opposite face of the clamp.
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/extude_the_hole.png)
+
+### 6. **Create a Clamp Locker**
+- Create a sketch on the right side of the clamp.
+- Draw two circles (2 mm and 4 mm diameter), 5 mm from the back, vertically centered.
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/locker_hole.png)
+
+### 7. **Extrude the Clamp Locker**
+- Use **Extrude** to create the 4 mm hole. Set **Extent Type** to "To Object".
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/4mm_hole.png)
+
+- Use **Extrude** to create the 2 mm hole. Set **Start** to "Object" (the inside face), and **Extent Type** to "To Object".
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/2mm_hole.png)
+
+### 8. **Use Fillet to Smooth Edges**
+- Select the **Fillet** tool from the **Create** menu.
+- Choose the edges to smooth and set the radius to 9 mm (or any value).
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/Smooth_edges.png)
+
+- Repeat for other edges as desired:
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/Smooth_edges2.png)
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/Smooth_edges3.png)
+
+### 9. **Create Chamfer for the Locker Screw**
+- Select **Chamfer** from the **Create** menu.
+
+![ViewCube Navigation](./assets/chamfer.png)
+
+- Select the hole edge and set the chamfer value to 2 mm.
