We glued the pieces of the stand together because it was easier than taping holes for screws when because the wood is thin. Wooden spacers were used to keep the linkage plate in line with the cam. We also had to add tape on the left of the base as seen in the picture below because the linkage plate would go too far to the left and fall over. A shaft is placed through the front plate, linkage plate, and back plate of the stand to create the pivot point.

The motors were attached directly to the linkage plate and stand using screws. We then connected each motor directly to a battery.
