This updated version initiates "perpetual motion" when the model is tilted backwards, triggering a magnet that activates a reed switch which in turn powers a motor to turn the overbalanced wheel. "Perpetual motion" ceases when either the battery runs out, the rubber band breaks, the motor fails, or by simply tilting the model forward and tapping on the back near the reed switch to release the magnet. The motor used in the final design is a 30 RPM gear motor; however, I've also successfully employed 150 RPM motors. They just spun too quickly for my taste. As usual, I probably missed some files or made other errors, so if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask since I'm prone to mistakes.
