Hello, I am from Trinidad and Tobago. I recently bought a Fischertechnik Motor Set XS kit from a toy store retailer here while I was doing Christmas Shopping. I at once realized that it belonged to part of a larger design, but the price was so good (less than US$7) that I still bought it with the plan to demonstrate the workings of gears and driveshafts, etc to my 7 year old daughter. However, now that I’ve opened the box I became a bit overwhelmed not knowing anything about robotics. I was hoping that someone here who has worked with this motor set may be able to recommend an accompanying kit or something to achieve this objective or even send a link to some project that has used this kit so I plan something. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks Chenson, much appreciated. Will see if I can get on e of the Construction sets at the same retailer.
The motor Set XSis plug and play - you need only to connect it to a 9V power supply and it will start rotating. In order to use the gears etc, they are really intended to be used with the Fishertechnik modular construction system. You may be able to design and build your own brackets as well.
