This kit offers children a new experience with remote control toys. It incorporates
a touch pad remote-controller and three geared motors into a set of building
components. Children can use the building blocks to construct a series of
machines, and then control them using the six capacitive sensors (touch pads)
on the remote control. This kit allows children to create models and learn about
electricity, physics, and mechanics in a hands-on way.
Fig. 1 shows you the electronic parts of this kit, which include:
A. Remote Controller
B. Receiver/Battery Holder
C. Power Pack With Wire Connector
When the user’s finger makes contact with
the touch pad on the remote controller, the
capacitance will change. The driver IC
(integrated circuit) of the touch pad
determines the amount the capacitance
has changed and coverts it into
coordinates (X, Y, θ angel). In this way, the
touch pad is able to detect the movement
of fingers. The touch pad is not only easy
and flexible to use, but environmentally
friendly because it reduces the electronic
elements needed for assembly.
The remote controller uses an infrared beam to send control signals
to the receiver. It is directional (the infrared beam has to be aimed
toward the receiver) and has a short-distance range (about 20 feet,
or 7 meters, in general).
The three sets of touch pads correspond to the three outputs on the
receiver/battery holder from left to right. Each set of touch pads
controls the rotation of the corresponding output motors, on turning
them clockwise and the other counterclockwise. When the touch pad
is touched and the signal received, the speaker and the LED will
produce sound and light effects.
The user can touch three touch pads (one in each set) at the
same time so that the three corresponding output motors can
all be activated at the same time. However, touching the two
touch pads at the same set simultaneously won’t cause any
action because the motor cannot move forward and in
reverse at the same time.
Two AA batteries (1.5V) are needed. Set the switch to OFF
when not in use in order to save energy.

The interior structure of the geared motor with wire connector is shown of Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. When the motor is activated, the power
is transmitted from the motor to the gearbox, which contains three gear sets: Set A gives a gear ratio 20 to 8, Set B gives a gear
ratio 28 to 8, and Set C gives a gear ratio 30 to 8. The overall gear ratio of the system is 20/8 x 28/8 x 30/8; that is, 32.8125 to 1. In
other words, the motor has to turn 32.8125 times to turn the axle X once. If the motor turns at 3200 rpm, the axle X in this system will
turn at 100 rpm. In other words, the speed of the axle X will decrease by 32 times but the torque (turning force) will increase by 32
times.

When the IR receiver receives a message from the remote controller, the built-in IC chip will judge which
corresponding touch pads were touched and then convert the control message into the corresponding
electrical outputs. Three AA batteries (1.5 V) are set in series in the receiver/battery holder. Each output
gives a 3 V direct current.
This kit introduces children to the principles of wireless communications and remote control technology
with this simple IR remote-control device that has three corresponding normal outputs. It instructs
children to build specific models with different remote-control functions, and encourages them to design
and build their won models using their creativity. The models can each incorporate up to three motors
which can be installed in different ways to allow the models to move in six directions (that is, forward or
backward, left or right, up or down).
When you finish playing with this kit, please remove one of the batteries from the receiver/battery holder because the receiver/battery
holder will still consume some electricity even in a standby. This will save energy and keep it safe.

About Gigo Gears
Gears are wheels with teeth on them. The teeth, or cogs, of one gear mesh with the teeth of another gear to transmit force between them.
A combination of two or more gears is called a transmission, or gear train. You can see transmissions with meshing gears inside old toys
or old clocks. Gearboxes can be found inside the transmission system of cars, which combine meshing gears of different sizes. This allows
the car’s driver to easily change between different speeds.
Do you know how gears work? You can learn how gears work and why they are useful by reading this manual and building the models in
this kit that use gears. The building blocks in this kit were designed based on the number ten and its multiples, including the size of the
components, the distance between the holes, or the unique gears. This makes it easy to both assemble the gears and also conveniently
calculate the gear ratio or change the rotary speed. Different from other gear designs that use the number seven or eight as their
fundamental number, these gears were created to be perfect for
teaching science to kids because they are easy to assemble and
they make it easy to calculate gear ratios (explained below).
We recommend a gradual learning process using these gears,
which begins with very basic assemblies to understand how each of
the components fit together. After you build all of the models in this
instruction book and understand how to use gear trains, you can
put your unlimited creativity to work and design vehicles and
machines on your won. Let your imagination guide you!
Now let’s look closely at gears and how we use them. Find the
gears in this kit. The wheels which have many tooth-shaped objects
sticking out of their edges are gears. Two gears can mesh with
each others using the teeth on the edges. When one gear rotates,
the other one will be driven to rotate as well. The intermeshing teeth of the two gears transmit torque (turning force) and rotation.
The big gear has more teeth than the small gear. Despite the number of teeth or the size of the gears,
all of the teeth on all of the gears in the same gear system must all be the same size. In simple gear
trains, the driver and driven gears will rotate in opposite directions. When a third gear is inserted
between the driver gear and driven gear, and makes them rotate in the same direction, it is called an
idler gear.

Fig. 7 The intermeshing of gears can effectively transmit
force to cause rotation. The red circle represents the
actual diameter of the transmission, which is called the
pitch diameter. The special shape of the teeth allows
for smooth intermeshing and transmits power along
the pitch.

The pitch diameter of the gears in this gear system is proportional to the
number of gear teeth. In other words, the pitch diameter of the 20T gears is
20 millimeters while the pitch diameter of the 40 millimeters. Again, the
pitch diameters are the imaginary circles between the meshed gear teeth
as shown in Figure 11.
In Fig. 11, the distance between the centers of the two gears is calculated
like this.
Therefore you can easily place the two gears on a rod or frame so that they
mesh together smoothly. The other sizes of gears are designed with the
same elegantly simple concept, so that all of the gears can easily be
assembled into working gear trains.
According to the instructions above, can you figure out how many holes
there are between a 40T and a 60T gear when they are meshed?
1. Use a 20T gear, a 40T gear, and two small axles to assemble the structure show in Fig. 12.
2. How many times do you need to turn gear A to make gear B rotate once?
3. You will see that when a 20T gear drives a 40T gear, the gear ratio is 2:1,
4. You will also see that as the teeth of the two gears mesh together, the two gears rotate in opposite directions.
Use two 20T gears, one 40T gear, two small axles, and one medium axle to assemble the structure shown in
Fig. 13.
How many times do you need to turn gear A to make gear B rotate once?
You will see that when a 20T gear drives a 40T gear, the gear ratio is 2:1, i.e. the gear ratio is the number of
teeth on the driven gear divided by the number of teeth on the drive gear.
You will also see that as an idler gear is inserted in between the two gears A and B now rotate in the same
direction.

Use two 20T gears, two 60T gears, two small axles, and one medium axle to assemble the structure in
Fig. 14.
How many times do you need to turn gear A to make gear D rotate once?
You will see that the gear ratio for the 20T gear A to drive the 60T gear B is 3:1, while the gear ratio for
20T gear C to drive 60T gear D is 3:1.
You will also see that when the axle of compound gears (B and C) is inserted, the first (A) and the
last (D) gears rotate in the same direction.
On the previous structure, add an additional 40T blue gear, a 20T red gear, and a medium axle to
assemble the structure as shown in Fig. 15.
Can you calculate how many times the 20T gear at position X needs to turn in order to make gear D rotate
once?
Turn it yourself, and count how many times it turns. Were your calculations correct?
Fig. 15 shows the gears meshing as bevel gears at right angles. The calculations of gear ratio and the
principles of rotary directions are the same as with spur gears.

ROTARY GEARBOX
Fig. 19 Fig. 20
The gears in this kit can combine in yet another way. A worm
gear and gear wheel are combined together as a worm
gearbox. As the worm gear rotates once, the gear wheel turns
only a one-tooth distance. Take the 40-tooth blue gear as an
example, the gear ratio would reach 40:1 to achieve a huge
speed reduction and torque increase. When friction is not
considered, the speed reduction reaches 40 times, and the
torque increase 40 times. In addition, the structure of the worm
gearbox also has another characteristic: the transmission can
only be conducted from the worm gear to this characteristic; the
worm gearbox can only be used for speed reduction and not for
speeding up. For this reason, it is commonly used in the
opening device for garage doors to prevent the possibility of the
door dropping unexpectedly.
The examples below illustrate the assembly of the frames,
gears, and axles. The gears are easy to install on the rods and
frames in this kit, because the rods and frames have holes
positioned in increments of ten millimeters. The pitch diameters
are in multiples of 20 millimeters, and thus the distance
between the center points of the gears is in multiples of ten
millimeters.
Fig. 17 is an another examples showing two gears meshing as beveled gears at a right angle.
The 80T Gear with the built-in pitch holes, acts as a rotary stage here on which the frame structure can be built.
