smart

spinner

This term y6 has been building lego modes. My favourite creation is the Smart Spinner because I like how you use the motor to make the spinner to spin. In addition to this another reason why the creation facinated me is that the spinner continues to spin with out the motor- once you take the motor away

The motor powers up the spinner and then you lift the motor ( which is shaped like a gun) and the spinner starts to spin for a few seconds. Some of the pieces that we used to construct the model was: the sensor, cogs,motor,axel and much more.

To build the phenomenal creation we had to carefully build the motor - with out the motor the spinner would not spin- if we made one little mistake we had to start again. After we successfully constructed the motor and the spinner, my partner and I programmed it ( using Lego Educations Programme) to spin. Once we finished programming it had a extension,which was to change one or two of the gears to find out how the speed of the spinner would be effected.

I really enjoyed building the smart spinner. It stood out to me the most because it was simple but amazing.
