We decided to devote some of the past materials to the manufacture of radio-controlled toys. This time we present to your attention a review of a video on the manufacture of a simple machine on a motor that can drive by itself.

Let's start by watching the author’s video

We will need:
- 5 volt engine;
- battery type crown;
- juice straw;
- wooden skewer;
- a piece of plastic;
- three caps from plastic bottles;
- Connector for crown.

First you need to glue the rear wheels of the future cars. To do this, cut a small piece of tubing a little longer than the width of the battery.

Then cut a piece from a wooden skewer, slightly longer than a piece of tubule.

We make holes in the center of the two covers.

Glue a piece of tube to the edge of the battery with a glue gun.

We insert a piece of the skewer into the tube, fixing the covers at the ends.

We take the third kryshka and glue it to the engine shaft.

We connect the wires going from the engine to the wires of the battery connector.

We also glue a piece of plastic at the bottom of the crown.

At the tip of the plastic glue a motor with a wheel.

In order for the machine to start driving, you need to connect the connector to the battery.

If desired, you can improve this simplest design by adding elements of your own discretion, for example, a switch, headlights and so on.

The presented work by the author is made from improvised materials that can be found at every home. The author is well done that he showed imagination and made not just an ordinary typewriter, but also a moving one. A very original work that will appeal to any boy, even despite the fact that such a machine is not modern now.

This is from an area about difficult childhood and wooden toys. When in Soviet times, pioneers entertained skillful hands in circles, there would have been a similar little thing in place. And in modern times, at least outwardly, it had to be ennobled and launched by electronic means.The machine is moving, well, the author has achieved a result, but this is too out of date.

Someone above said that for a three-year-old baby this machine will be dangerous and difficult. I will give an example from my own life. When my son was three years old, he managed to disassemble the freezer from his grandmother - he wanted to find out how it works. And you say typewriter! Some children at three years of age will do such technical miracles that parents will be stunned.

Everyone criticized the author like that ... Maybe this toy was made just for the sake of satisfaction, yes! I still can do something! Or for example, make such a machine with a child of 4-5 years old. He will be glad and proud that he did the machine with his dad. And at the expense of presentability, of course yes, you can come up with something better and more beautiful. In the end, you can make a case out of some cardboard box and decorate it with stickers or paint with felt-tip pens, this is at the discretion of the designer. : no:

It is unclear what age this toy is designed for: for a child up to three years old it is dangerous, since there are a lot of small parts in it, but for older children I don’t know if such a toy will be interesting at all? In general, the idea itself, of course, is quite original - it is interesting to invent something moving with your own hands from improvised materials, and not everyone can succeed.

One hundred percent. I looked at the photo, where is the self-propelled machine? I saw only the supposedly radio-controlled battery on the bottle caps. Why not use a plastic case with a broken toy car thrown into the trash? And there to hide the battery with a motor.

Making a car on "roof" wheels will take more time than going to the nearest retail outlet for a more presentable toy. And then the machine can be arbitrarily modified (to motorize, radiofit, put "real" headlights, etc.).
