Had some extra PVC and a small motor so I decided to make a fun little toy for my kids to watch mess around with.

Step 1: Materials

You will need:

3 inch section 3/4"  PVC piping
One 3/4"  PVC endcap
One 1"  PVC endcap
One 3/4" PVC "T" with threaded center, smooth ends
Flat toggle STSP switch
AA battery and holder
Small DC motor
Counterweight
Wire Coat Hanger
Zip Ties
Tilt switch (optional)
Heat shrink tubing (optional)

Very cool, love the design, and congrats because I rated 5 stars, subscribed, and added this to the "Simple Robotics" guide!

After seeing this, I made one similar but on the simple side. My kids were like "What in the world?" until I turned it on, and then they were pretty amazed. Thanks for the "cool" idea.
