Rotation Action - Graphic Tutorial

Rotation action is one of the action programs. It can set the speed and direction of rotatable modules like drive balls and wheels.

I、Assembling

Example Assembling: Small Spinning Tree

Modules Needed：Brain*1、Joint*3、Mount*1

1、Follow the picture for the building configuration. Note: All drive balls are parallel to each other. (The number of drive balls can also increase or decrease according to your ideas. More than six drive balls are recommended to add snap reinforcement.)

Parallel Example

2.  Save the Assembly with the order.

II、Rotation Action Setting Method

1、 Click on the action library interface to enter the rotation motion setting interface

2、Click on the drive ball you want to set and slide the bar below to adjust the direction and speed of the drive ball rotation.

3、Set the direction and speed of rotation for each drive ball separately. (In the example, the drive ball is set to 50% counterclockwise)

III、Assembly Testing

Click the Execute button in the lower left corner to start the rotation of the configuration. Click the Execute button again to stop the rotation of the configuration.

IV、Expansion

 1、Exercise

       Observe the following three different rotation effects and try to reproduce them by setting the rotation action.

     The configuration in the video corresponds from left to right to groups one, two and three in the answer; the driving ball corresponds from top to bottom to 1, 2 and 3 balls.

     The first set of values:

Drive ball 1 direction: clockwise; speed: 80%.

Drive ball 2 direction: counterclockwise; speed: 80%.

Drive ball 3 direction: counterclockwise; speed: 40%.  

     Second set of values:

Drive ball 1 direction: clockwise; speed: 50%.

Drive ball 2: no movement.

Drive ball 3 direction: counterclockwise; speed: 50%.

     Third set of values:

Drive ball 1 direction: counterclockwise; speed: 60%

Drive ball 2 direction: clockwise; speed: 30%

Drive ball 3 direction: clockwise; speed: 30%.
