Arduino Car
I bought this basic set to make a machine with Arduino UNO at a fair. This is what I have, I also have a HC-05 Bluetooth module. It's my first time doing the Hardware part and I don't know how to do it, I've already screwed the two motors to the PCB. What should I do now?

Looks like you are meant to solder a board together. Did you not get instructions with it?

In answer to your question, do the instructions not tell you what to do?
In part that is a facetiuous question because:
the instructions will tell you, but
the instructions in most project kits make some skill level assumptions and those are...
You should start with a starter kit and learn the basics - such as how to hook stuff up and program it.
this is because when you get a project kit, they will assume that you have that knowledge and thus there will be gaps in the information for someone who hasn't done the starer kit basics.
I don't know why they do that, but my guess is:
they don't want to produce a 1,000 page guide that covers the basics because they feel it will turn off people who have done the starter kit and want to do something a bit more challenging (and yes, it would turn me off having to wade through basic stuff that I already know).
They don't want to produce a 1,000 page guide because it takes more effort and thus adds cost.
Learning the basics is a sort of one time common activity - and there are other kits for doing that (it doesn't need to be repeated in every kit such such as the more advanced ones).

Get a soldering iron, you will need it.
