1. Building with Gears

The Gears! Gears! Gears! set allows for endless creative possibilities. Follow these general guidelines:

• Connect Bases: Start by snapping together the green base plates to create your desired building area.
• Add Pillars: Insert the colorful pillars into the holes on the base plates. These pillars serve as supports for your gears.
• Attach Gears: Place gears onto the pillars. Ensure the teeth of adjacent gears interlock properly for smooth rotation. Experiment with different gear sizes and types (e.g., crown gears, flip gears) to create complex movements.
• Use Axles and Connectors: Utilize 6-way axles and L connectors to extend your structures horizontally and vertically, allowing for more intricate designs.

2. Using the Power Motor

The power motor brings motion to your gear creations:

• Connect Motor: Attach the motor unit to one of your gears or a pillar that is connected to your gear system. Ensure the motor's drive shaft engages firmly with a gear.
• Activate Motor: Use the wired remote control to turn the motor on and off, and to change the direction of rotation. The motor will set the connected gears in motion, which in turn will move all interlocked gears.
• Andrana: Observe how different gear arrangements affect the speed and direction of movement.

The dome lights add a dynamic visual element to your creations:

• Integrate Lights: Place the dome lights onto pillars or directly into certain gear designs.
• Flashing Action: The dome lights are designed to flash, adding a captivating visual effect as your gears spin.
• Glow-in-the-Dark Stickers: Apply the included glow-in-the-dark stickers to gears or other components to enhance the visual experience, especially in low-light conditions.
