Toddler bot problems

Hi guys, I'm new to the forums but I've been building parallax robots for a while now. I got a Toddler bot for Christmas and (as usual) i had it done in about 1 hr of working verses the normal 3 hrs. What sopped me is that when i was going to put on the ball joint for the rods from the tilt servo, i found that the hole that i was supposed to put the ball joint through was too small. I was wondering whether i was the only one who had this problem or if more people had this happen to them.

    Hey Mad Roboticist,

    Toddler expert here.

    I think you are trying to press the ball link into the plastic socket, right? If so, this can take a bit of force to complete. Your fingers might even hurt a bit when you're done. The way I do it is to place the plastic socket on the table, hole up. Then, get a grip on the ball link and press it into the socket. It'll go snaaappp! and it should move around freely without binding once it is in the socket.
