VORON
In the comfort of your own home you are about to assemble a robot. This
machine can maim, burn, and electrocute you if you are not careful. Please
do not become the first VORON fatality. There is no special Reddit flair for that.
Please, read the entire manual before you start assembly. As you begin wrenching,
please check our Discord channels for any tips and questions that may halt your progress.

VERIFY DIMENSIONS
Check the corners and make sure that they are at 90° angles. Use a small machinist square.
If you have the measuring equipment verify that both uprights are dead on parallel.
Correct the angle is required. Failure in doing so may result in a sticky Z Axis.
