Go in a Circle


	Here's a way to make something go in a circle - Margaret

	Use four Lego pieces to make "legs" for the motor to stand on.

	When the motor stands on the legs, the axle will be on top.

	Get a very short axle piece and a large round gear.

	Put the Lego axle into the motor and fit the large gear on top.

	Now you'll use two of the small black fasteners to attach a long beam.

	Put the two black fasteners next to each other in holes in the gear. . .

	. . . And attach the long beam on its side (the black pieces will fit in the holes in the beam). I added a rolled-up piece of tape so I can attach...

	. . . a zebra that will run in circles.

	Here's a program to try with this module. Setting the power to a lower level makes it turn more slowly.

Learn to make copper sensors.
