Building the tail
Our next step is to add motors three and four to the sides. You are going to use two motors for an equal balance of the body. This will also allow the tail to be strongly held to the body of the robot.
To get started, you will need the following pieces:
- Two motors
- Four black connector pins
- Two white perpendicular connector pins
- Four wire clips

- Two black round elbow connectors
- Four blue axle pins
Using two black connector pins for each motor, attach the motors to the sides of the teal base plate, as follows:

Next, insert a white perpendicular connector pin to each of the motors on the top of each motor on the edge, as follows:

This is also a great time to use the wire clips to organize your...
