Re: Building tips

Heres one. Engineer first, then build. It's pretty frustrating to build something, only to have to completely revise the design because it can't do what it's supposed to.

Triple check the van door motor that it's running at the speed it's supposed to be, and that the Fisher Price motors are 12 volt before running 12 volts through them.....
