Step 5Mount The Motor
Now we're going to complete the circuit by crimping the motor (lightly!) into the top pair of tabs. This will press the bent tab in contact with the top of the battery and the lead into contact with the tin which will complete our circuit.
First bend the top tabs of our tin into a U shape so we can rough everything into place. Then place the motor so that the bottom lead is in firm contact with the battery while the other lead is pressed against the metal of our tabs.
(You might want to put a piece of paper or tape over the top of the battery to keep our robot quiet while we're working on him.)
Very carefully crimp this closed with pliers. You want the motor to stay in place, but you don't want to damage the casing of the motor.
