Step 4Motor and Gear System
Im using the Cyber Knex motor. All the other knex motors Ive seen should be able to fit in here with a little modification.
1,2: The motor and mount
3: Build this
4: Attach it.
5,6,7: Fix the motor into the frame
8: Build this onto the rod.
9: Put a small tire hub onto the motor rod.
Now you have to test the gear system. Put the camera in, turn it on, and then turn on the motor. You should see all the gears start to turn. The cam which pushes up the rocker should rotate slowly clockwise, and then push the rocker up, taking a shot. If you leave it running, then the camera should take one shot every 10 seconds or so.
