The goal of Spout
The Goal of Spout
The Spout robot is designed to teach principles of matter and energy. The Spout robot is based on “beetle bot” designs available on across the internet websites like Instructables and Make.

- Hey Man if you really are interested in learning robotics here are some tipe
1. Learn about electronics
2. Download lego mindstorms if you don't have programming experience.
3. Follow instructions
4. Don't be a tightwad
5. If there is a robotics team at school just join it does not matter if you have experience(1 vote)
- pm: We are assembling the Spout Bot without Solder and are at the 'Secure and wire the motor' step. We've run into a problem. Both motors are mounted and connected to the open terminals as described in the video but we can not get the motors to turn on when we test it the first couple of times.. However, when we pushed the red wires that connect the LED lights, the motors worked. 9:37
Welcome any and all help….(3 votes)- Check if the wires are connected properly. The motors must also be connected to a battery and be a closed circuit for the motors to work. Make sure that the batteries are connected to the motors and to test the motors, touch one of the wires to the terminal of the motor that is not already connected to the battery.(1 vote)
- I wish my dad would buy parts to make a spout robot(2 votes)
- If you really want to make one, you should save some money and when you have enough, go to the store to buy them yourself. Plus, if you have permission, you can search around the house for parts. Our shed is full of electronic components, and there are boxes with more electrical stuff laying scattered around the house.(1 vote)

- iknow it could be a lot better who are you hi ask more comments(0 votes)
- Why can’t they supply us with the pre-made packages like they do for the videos were you just pull the parts out of a bag? It would make our lives so much easier and it would be easier for us to build with the instructor not be searching the web while the video is playing just saying.(1 vote)
