Race Game
Project #62 Using Parts as
Conductors
!
WARNING:
Moving parts. Do not
touch the fan or motor
during operation.
Note that the LED (D1) lights, but the lamp (L1)
does not light and the motor (M1) does not spin.
Electricity is flowing through the lamp and
motor, but not enough to turn them on. So in this
circuit they are acting like 3-snap wires. You
could replace D1 or L1 with a 3-snap and the
circuit would work the same.
Modify Project #59 by adding the pointer as shown on the left. The paper should
be cut from page #62 and taped high enough on the speaker so the pointer will
stick over the fan with paper. Bend the pointer at a right angle as shown on the left.
Setup: Cut out the grid with four (4) colors from page #62 and place it under the
base as shown on the left. Each player picks a color (or two colors if only 2 people
are playing) and places a single snap on row G. The purple player in column 1,
the blue player in column 2, the green player in column 3, and the yellow player
in column 4. Spin the wheel by closing the press switch (S2). The first single color
wedge that the pointer points to is the first player to start. In some models you only
have three 1-snaps, so use a 2-snap if you have four players.
The Play: Each player gets a turn to press the press switch. They release the
press switch and when the pointer points to a wedge, the players that match the
colors on the wedge get to move up one space. If a liner comes up like the one
shown on the left then the players on each side of the line get to move up two (2)
spaces. The first player to reach the top row (A) wins. If two players reach the top
row at the same time they must both drop down to row “D” and play continues.
Turn on the slide switch (S1) and push the press switch (S2), you hear
a machine gun sound (with music in the background). Thoroughly
cover the photoresistor with your hand and the sound becomes a
siren. After a while the sound will stop, push the press switch and it
resumes.
