Hello Pokemon Go Masters,

In this instructable I will explain a maker solution to egg hatching in Pokemon GO game. It is very easy to prepare. Are you ready to hatch your eggs without walking through kilometers ?

Here are the parts that you need:

1) Adaptor: https://www.amazon.com/BINZET-Adapter-Regulated-S...

2) Motor: https://www.amazon.com/15RPM-Shaft-Torque-Turbine...

3) K'nex: https://www.amazon.com/KNEX-375-Piece-Deluxe-Buil...

4) You can find cardboard :)

Be sure that your character is walking when machine is turning!

Don't forget to watch step by step video that I prepare for you.

Step 1: Preparing K'nex Body and Tires

Let start connecting K'nex parts together

Take the circular purple part and connect red bars all around of it. Also insert gray connector part inside purple part. Check the first two pictures.

After that take blue small bar and attach orange connecter to left edge then insert tire and close the other edge with other orange connector. Prepare 4 tires with this way in total. And connect all the tires on red bars by following "+" shape. (Front, back, left, right bars will only have the tires.) See the 3rd and 4th pictures

Step 2: Cutting Cardboard and Pasting

Now we are cutting a circle from cardboard in the same size with our circular K'nex part.

Then plug the hot glue gun, and glue the K'nex part into the cardboard gently. Don't use excessive glue.

After you connect circular K'nex part with the cardboard, took two yellow connector and glue them to gray connector located in the middle of our circle. See the pictures.

Step 3: Motor Cables and Placing Motor on a Flat Surface

We are connecting motor cables via hand. No need for soldering

Now tape the motor and its cables on a flat surface. Stabile them. See the pictures

Step 4: Connecting Motor and Platform

Connect the platform to the motor. The gray K'nex part will be the best fit. You don't need to do any extra thing. Just insert the shaft of the motor inside of the gray connector part. (Second picture is to show you how motor shaft will fit)

Step 5: Connecting Adaptor and Getting Ready

Tie the cables coming from motor into adaptor cables. + or - is not important. Just connect it, because direction of the rotation will not effect the end result.

Just be careful to avoid short circuit. Use electric tape to cover conductive parts.

Step 6: Egg Hatching

Are you ready to hatch the eggs ?

Open Pokemon GO app and plug the adaptor

New pokemons are on the way

When machine is turning be sure that your character is walking. If you make your circle bigger, it will help you to gain more walking distance while your platform turning. According to my experiments, currently my Pokemon GO character is gaining 0.02 km per 10 minutes of rotation. It is more wise to put your phone into this machine when you go to sleep. When you wake up your pokemon will be waiting for you!
