Step 8 The motor mount

Here's a clever way to mount a motor to your robot - these pager motors are really small, and they fit perfectly in fuse holder.

We'll use a fuse holder (included in the parts bundle for this project) to mount our motor. Don't solder directly to the motor - this is pretty difficult, and you can ruin the part.

I used pliers to "squeeze" the fuse holder's legs over the wire, so that the wire stays in place while soldering it to the paper clip frame.
