Step 1Build the Base

Build the Base
Connect 2 blue or black connectors with a white rod, and add 2 half-moon connectors with 2 blue rods. See picture for help. Connect the two half-moons with a white rod, then add a white rod to one of the tops of the blue connectors. Add two yellow or red rods to the end of the half-moon connectors. Connect those with a orange connector. See pictures.
