where do you get those motors?!? I've had problems with this because I couldn't find the motors :(

[JeromeDemers]

@Thewaterofthepool Got them from old toys. You can buy them online solarbotics,robotshop,jameco, etc. Check cheap toy at a dollarstore.

@JeromeDemers what kind of cheap toy? toy robot, or toy gun, etc.

[JeromeDemers]

@joeygosh100 Any type of toy with a motor inside. Like a little car, a mini personnal fan, etc. Anything that moves or spin.
