I used hot glue to do the 'attaching'- but any type of strong adhesive should work.


1. Cut 2 equal pieces of the hard wire. It should be about 1 inch long for each wheel.
2. Hot glue each wire into the top gear of each servo. Make sure the wire is centered.
3. Hot glue 3 magnetic disks onto the end of each wire*. Make sure the disks are centered.



*actually, I've found that once the magnets are glued on, working with the servos becomes really annoying- the stick to everything. You may want to hold off and do this at the very end.
