Overview

The Make it Move contest is all about making things that move. These things can move on their own accord, or move with help from external forces such as yourself!

In simpler terms, anything that you build that moves in some manner is eligible for this contest. This can include a robot, RC car, go kart, bicycle, javelin, horse cart, submarine, or duct tape kayak (to name a few). The sky is the limit (in all likelihood), but you are obviously free to try to exit the atmosphere.

Post an Instructable with clear images and instructions that shows how to make something that moves. Including a video of your project moving is also highly encouraged!

The Make it Move Contest is closed.
