This kit is the internal mechanical and switching parts needed to for you to build a custom Useless Machine of your own design. We have done the "rocket science" of getting the motor, circuit board, switches and LEDs into one easy to use assembly. Now you can concentrate on building a cool box out of whatever material you have around. Wood, cardboard, plastic, an old lunch box… let your creativity go wild!
The motor mount in this parts only kit is slightly different than the one included in our standard kit. It has been modified with a base to allow it to mounted in or on any surface. In fact, you don't even need to put it in a case to make it work. (Although, it is just a little more mysterious when in a casing.)
Included in this kit:
- Motor
- Circuit board
- Snap switch
- DPDT Toggle switch
- Two color LED
- Battery Holder
- 100 ohm and 220 ohm resistors
- Laser cut acrylic motor mount, base with mounting screw holes and arm
- Screws, washers and nut
- Set of four acrylic mounting washers

- Flush cutters
- Small size philips screw driver (x shape)
- Small size flat blade screw driver
- Some form of box (if you choose to use one)
- 3x AAA Batteries
Please note: This parts only kit does not include a case. It is only the internal motor, battery, circuit board and parts shown above. Assembly including soldering is required for this kit.
