The following hardware is required to assemble the robotic xylophone.  Some of these parts you may be able to make substitutions, but I list here the hardware that is shown in the assembly instructions.

  • 3mm x 0.5mm x 12mm Metric Machine Screws – Qty 50

All of this hardware can be found either on-line or at your local home improvement store.  I prefer to order the bolts, nuts, screws, etc., from BoltDepot.com because I have found that web-site to have a greater selection.  It also allows you to order the parts in any quantity.  In many cases, I could find hardware at BoltDepot that I could not find at my local Lowes.
