Hello! In this instructable I will show you how to make a Gear Drive Missile Launcher.

Pieces

First you will need to get some Lego bricks, which includes a six by six stud baseplate and a special piece featured in the picture above.

First, you will need to take your bricks and cover the baseplate with one layer. Next, you will build a second layer of bricks but you will leave a one by two space uncovered. Then, you will attach the special piece to the top of the structure so that it doesn't cover the space left open.

In this step you will need to grab one small black gear, one short capped axle, and a one by two axle holder.

This step is pretty easy to do so you can just follow the picture directions.

(You need one large black gear so it can work)

You're Done!
