Intro: The Spinnybot - a K'nex Spinny Thing

This is the Spinnybot. When you wind it up and put it on a carpet it spins round... And round... And round...
That is all it does. Now let's get on to the instructions...

STEP 1: A Note

This uses 3 K'nex spring (windup) motors. I don't know if it works with less or a different type of motor, and if it does, you will have to modify the motor section. Now on with the building!

STEP 2: The Disc

This is the disc. This is easy to build. Enough said.

STEP 3: The Gearbox/Motor Housing

This is where the motors are housed. All pics are different views.

STEP 4: The Axle

This is the axle. To be honest, it doesn't deserve its own step.

STEP 5: Assembly

This is the bit where it all fits together. Follow the image notes.

STEP 6: You're Done!

Wind it up, put it down, and watch it spinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

This is pretty cool. I made someting similar, just designed like a saw. I did not base it on this, though.
