English term or phrase: holding the motor housing upright
SMART ROBOT
Assemble your very own Smart Robot! Watch it speed around your house, turning left or right like magic as it bumps obstacles. You could even make a maze to see if the Smart Robot can escape.
...
Drop the metal end of the larger axle into the white bearing hole close to the corner of the motor. Its cog should interlock with the top cog on the smaller axle. Apply some lubricant to the cogs. Cooking oil from the kitchen is suitable.
*** Keep holding the motor housing upright *** so that the axles do not fall out. Carefully lower the motor housing cover into place. You may need to wiggle it slightly to so that the tops ends of the axles fit into their upper bearings. If the cover does not fit into place properly, remove it and make sure the axles and motor are still in their correct places.
Before screwing down the motor housing cover, slot the metal weight into place next to the battery case. It only fits one way up. You’ll have to lift the cover off the housing very slightly to do this.
