Introduction: Swinging Frogs
Step 1:
The Jameco motor will slide into the slot on this base--just solder two small wires to the motor before you insert it.
Step 2:
Insert the motor in the base and push the cross beam onto the motor shaft. All parts should friction fit.
Step 3:
Print two seats and drill 1/16 inch holes for fishing line "ropes."
Step 4:
Drill holes in the top rod to match the holes in the seats.
Step 5:
Secure the seats with fishing line.
Step 6:
Glue the frogs in their seats--no seat belts here!
Step 7:
Apply 1.5 volts (one D cell) to the motor and the frogs will swing. Put 3 volts on and they will move so fast that you can't see the individual frogs.
