Working with the Servo Motor

After the hand was constructed, the next step was to work with the servo motor and attach it to the hand. The first thing that I did was use a screwdriver and unscrewed the original white circle off of the motor and I switched it out for the red cross piece.


Next, I cut out three small pieces of cardboard and used a hot glue gun to glue all of them together as a base where the servo would sit for more support. After gluing those together, I hot glued the servo onto the base and then the whole thing was hot glued onto the hand. 



After the base was glued onto the hand, the next thing that I did was go into Snap! and I set the servo motor to 0°. After this was set, I hot glued all of the five pieces of yarn onto the servo motor on the red cross. This took many tries and I had to re-glue the yarn a couple times because it was not working out in certain placements. I finally found the right place and hot glued the yarn and reinforced it with some tape.
