Summary
In this project we were tasked for building a machine using multiple Simple machines with Electricity which would teach/reinforce the third graders "How things move" Unit

Circuit
This circuit was to allow two different motors to be activated by the same button but also have a single button for each motor that only activates that motor. This was used since the motors had different rotation speeds so in order for them to do one full rotation we made cams that would turn on a switch when the rod started rotating with the first main switch and stopped the rod when it did a full rotation. Since we didn't want all switches activating all of them we added diodes.
Reflection
Overall I feel like me and my partner did really well in this project and make something really cool. The 3rd graders gave us full scores which surprised me. If I were to do another project like this I would focus more on the exterior look of it so it looked as clean as possible.
