Wheels
Slide a five-stud rod into the fifth hole of an 11-hole bar. Attach a three-hole bar to the back of this rod, standing upright, then a black stopper to the front side, so the length of the rod faces forward. Repeat with another five-stud rod placed in the seventh hole.
Attach two five-stud rods to the top of the upright bars. Place the last hole of a seven-hole bar on both of these rods.
Attach a rod endcap to the middle of a double-black connector, then attach two two-hole bars to either end of this unit. Attach the two rods to this unit, so the endcap points forward.
Attach a double-headed connector to a three-stud rod. Make two of these, and slip them into the last holes on either side of the seven-hole bars.
Slide two seven-hole rods on the upper five-stud rods, and an 11-hold rod onto the lower two.
Place two three-hole rods on the five-stud rods to mimic the other side of the piece. Slide a black connector into the middle of one of these two bars.
Place a black three-hole rod between the two upright rods, and pin it into place with a double connector through the upright to keep it there.
Attach the two connector rods to the middle connector and the black connector on the front of the piece. A six-stud rod on the bottom, with a black rod extender attached to a two-stud rod and black endcap goes in the lower piece. The upper rod is a 10-stud rod with a black endcap on the end.
Attach two grey L-bars to the connector rods with black double-connectors, bringing both ends up to the short end of the L-bar.
Lift up the two seven-hole bars and attach two more 11-hole bars to the L-bars and the middle of the wheel units. Use black connector rods, and double-connector rods in the back of the wheel unit and the long end of the L-bar.
Attach two grey three-hole bars to the ends of the 11-hole bar, and bridge the gap with a seven-hole bar on the back.
Build four wheel brackets. Connect two curved bars in a loop with two brown three-hole bars. Make four of these units, and connect two of them to the center unit. Hold the other two aside.
Install a large gear at the top of each bracket, and a small gear at the bottom. Place the wheel inside these brackets so they mesh with one of the large wheels. Close them into place with the two remaining brackets.
Make a second wheel unit using the same directions. At any time, for a picture of the wheel units, consult the Instructions guide located under References.
Main Body
Attach four black connectors the middle of a 15-hole rod. Leave the center hole open, place two on the back side and two on the front side. Place two black double-connectors on either side of the outer pins, and then two more black connectors outside of them on the back side. Make two of these bars.
Attach one of the bar units to the two wheels using a pair of brown three-hole rods. Attach the other using a brown two-hole rod.
Build the front-end cannon and attach it to the bottom of the wheel bridge you've just constructed.
Build the head of the droid using two of the red horns. Attach these to an angled bracket and connect that above a 15-hole bar. Build the missile battery bracket on the back, connected with a rubber band so it can tilt as needed.
Attach the spine to the model over the cannon.
Build the body of the droid up. Use angled brackets with another pair of red horns as eyes. Attach two wings along the sides and the sword-shaped pieces along the back of the droid's head.
Build the missile launchers out of narrow bars and four-stud rods with ridged connectors on the back sides. Make the missiles with the black double-connectors on the front. Attach these launchers to the bracket on the back of the model.
