Claim 7:
8. A method of assembling a robot comprising:
a first member and
a second member that rotates relative to the first member,

the method comprising:
a step of preparing the first member before assembly, the first member before assembly including a housing including a first wall and a second wall disposed to face each other separated by a distance, a first protrusion protruding from the first wall toward the second wall, and a second protrusion protruding from the second wall toward the first wall, a drive section including a motor body that generates a drive force rotating about a drive axis, a drive pulley that is connected to the motor body, and a flange that protrudes from the motor body in a direction intersecting the drive axis, a joint section that has a driven pulley and that transmits the driving force to the second member, and a belt, the first protrusion and the second protrusion include support sections in which a separation distance between the support sections is shorter than a length of the flange to which the flange protrudes and missing sections in which a separation distance between the missing sections is longer than the length of the flange in which the flange protrudes;
a step of winding the belt around the driven pulley;
a step of bringing the drive section close to the belt through a path in which both ends of the flange in a direction in which the flange protrudes pass through the missing sections;
a step of winding the belt around the drive pulley; and
a step of fixing the flange to the support section.
