The motion is based on a cam oscillator using only two motors, giving it motion but not full leg articulation. It is controlled with skid-steering as if it had any other drive base.
In addition to the goggles, there are a few other safety warnings on this.

Beware of things connected to motor/relay coils or capacitors, these devices may still carry a charge. Old CRT TV's are especially likely to do this. You may want to consider a safe method of ensuring capacitors and inductors are discharged before you start working. The safest way is to leave it unplugged for a day or so. If you are going to work close to the capacitors, carefully use a 1M resistor held in pliers with insulated handles to discharge the capacitors across their terminals.
An alternative to chop blocks are Wago connectors, which use a snap fitting to close firmly around leads. The 221 Inline blocks are pretty good for small connections, although it would be great if there was a yet-smaller option.

I recommend using a screwdriver (flat bladed) to flip these up/down as they can catch your finger. These Wago blocks come in different lengths for connecting multiple wires together.

There is nothing more frustrating than having to remove your heat shrink, or tape just to re-tighten, or replace the connection.
If the break occurred because the wire was just too tight, then you really should consider adding in an extra length. Take the opportunity when adding connectors to make the wire modular and extensible.
