TL. DR.
Extending a single cable could take well about 5-10 minutes when done for the first time. It is a complex sequence of tasks that students must follow. Start with a single cable and validate the complete result with the students. Only then continue to a second cable.
It takes time
It takes a lot of time to do it the first time. It might take well over 5-10 minutes for the first cable to be extended. Be patient. After the first cable is extended move to the second, the third and extend all the cables of the car. It could take well over an astronomical hour for all the students to extend all the cables.
Leave them to do it themselves
Make sure the students could do it themselves. The first time it is hard. The second and third is much easier. They should be able to complete the whole set of sequence of steps. This will have a tremendous learning effect on them. They can just give up somewhere in the middle of the sequence. Teach them patience.
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons
Perfect STEM course. Module 1 - Smart Car with Raspberry PI
Disassemble a remote control car. Change the brain of the car with a smart computer like Raspberry Pi. Build a smart device with artificial intelligence that you could control from your phone and that could freely navigate itself in the real world and on the Internet. Use your hands. Develop programs for your robot and your phone. Be curious and invent.
The perfect course lives up to its name. You move through the content, we check it and return feedback to you.
In the end, you should be able to better understand how to program and design smart devices that would make the world a better place. For everybody age 12+, 16+, 21+, 35+, etc. The hardware costs about 150$. It changes through the years so it might take some time for you to find it as Raspberry PI, motor drivers, power banks and h-bridges.. they change. Note that the course was designed to be led by a teacher with a decent knowledge in embedded hardware and software. This, on the other hand should not stop you, if you are curious.

Extending cables with Heat-shrink tubing
At the beginning of this video tutorial, we would have two separate cables. At the end of the tutorial, we would have a single, longer cable. The two cables will be connected to each other using a Heat-Shrink Tubing
