Simple Bots: Scrub

Step 8Zip tie

Zip tie
Zip tie the 9V battery between the two fans such that the fan brackets are facing inwards and the rotors are facing outwards, such that they can spin uninhibited.

Also, you may want to consider connecting them together in such a way that the wiring on each motor, is roughly across from each other.

If done right, the 9V battery should be held firmly in place and the motors should spin freely.

Trim off any excess zip tie bits when you are done.
