EDUCATIONAL HINTS Above mentioned four basic units (seven toys) all have a very simple circuitry which consisting of the minimum components, namely, the battery, the switch and the load. A circuitry lacks any one of them will not function. So we can take it as the brick of a house. In building a house (particularly the wall), the bricks can be placed side by side (parallel connection), can be placed one above another (series connection), also can be placed side by side and one above another (series-parallel connection). As mentioned above that now we have seven toys (basic circuitr), if we parallel (or series) connecting each two of them, we shall have 6+5+4+3+2+1=21 different arrangements. While since in our case one base is for 3 toys (floating ball, air cleaner and bubble blower) and one base is for 2 toys (flying disc and color filter), so the toysusing same base can not connect each other. So, the sum is not 21, but 17. For the same reason total seven toys for connecting each three in one time will have 15 arrangements. Total seven toys for connecting each four in one time will have 6 arrangements. The total arrangements will be 7 (basic toys) + [17 + 15 + 6] (p. connection) = 45 arrangements! P.6 P.7 Switch S

It is not necessary to show all 45 assembly drawings and description here, but we shall show some examples below :
[1] Challenge + Turbo in parallel : 1) Connect two bases (1) with two connecting bridges (13). Insert it into suitable holes of each base. Keep in mind that there are holes on connecting bridges (13) for inserting any components since the connecting bridge (13) will occupy the holes which are previously unoccupied. 2) Pull out two red leads from spring B on Turbo base (1). Clamp one red lead into spring B on Challenge base (1), and another red lead into spring C on Challenge base (1).
OPERATION 1) In doing so, the switch (7) on Challenge base (1) will be the main switch; switch (5) on Turbo base (1) can only control components on Turbo base (1). 2) If two switches are ON, when the wand (10) touches wire (8) components on both base will start their action. If switch (5) on Turbo base is OFF, components on Turbo base will be switched off.
[2] Turbo + Flying Disc + Duo in parallel: 1) Connecting three bases (1) with four connecting bridges (13); insert it into suitable holes of each base, mind that there are holes on connecting bridges (13) for inserting any components since the connecting bridge (13) will occupy the holes which are previously unoccupied. 2) Pull out two red leads from spring B on Turbo base (1). 3) Clamp one red lead into spring B on Duo base (1). 4) Clamp another red lead into spring C on Duo base (1). 5) Pull out two red leads from spring B on Flying disc base (1). 6) Clamp one red lead into spring B on Duo base (1). 7) Clamp another red lead into spring C on Duo base (1).
OPERATION
1) Now main switch is switch (12) on Duo base (1);

[3] Challenge + Turbo + Flying disc + Duo in parallel : 1) Connect four bases (1) with six connecting bridges (13); insert it into suitable holes of each base, mind that there are holes on connecting bridges (13) for inserting any components since the connecting bridge (13) will occupy the holes which are previously unoccupied. 2) Pull out two red leads from spring B on Turbo base (1). 3) Clamp one red lead into spring B on Challenge base (1). 4) Clamp another red lead into spring C on Challenge base (1). 5) Pull out two red leads from spring B on Flying disc base (1). 6) lamp one red lead into spring B on Challenge base (1). 7) Clamp another red lead into spring C on Challenge base (1). 8) Pull out two red leads from spring B on Duo base (1). 9) Clamp one red lead into spring B on Challenge base (1). 10) Clamp another red lead into spring C on Challenge base (1).
OPERATION 1) The main switch is switch (7) on Challenge base (1). Switch it on for the whole circuitry to start their action.
[4] Challenge + Duo in series : 1) Pull out black lead of motor (2) from the spring A on Challenge base (1). 2) Pull out red lead of battery case (11) from spring B on Duo base (1). 3) Clamp the red lead of battery case (11) into spring A on Challenge base (1). 4) Clamp the black lead of motor (2) spring B on Duo base (1).
OPERATION 1) Two switches (7 and 12) must be all in ON position for the whole circuitry to work; any switch in OFF position will stop the whole circuitry. 2) In this case, switch (12) can be deleted. Clamp red lead of gearbox (9) directly to spring C on Duo base (1) is also OK. The unused switch can be used as connecting lead.
18
[5] Challenge + Turbo + Duo in series : 1) In this case, Challenge and Duo had been series connected as above mention, so only Turbo should be inserted into the circuitry. 2) Pull out red lead of battery case (4) from the spring B on Turbo base (1). 3) Pull out black lead of gearbox (9) from the spring A on Duo base (1). 4) Clamp red lead of battery case (4) into spring A on Duo base (1). 5) Clamp black lead of gearbox (9) into spring B on Turbo base (1).
OPERATION 1) Three switches (7, 5 and 12) must be all in ON position for the whole circuitry to work; any switch in OFF position will stop the whole circuitry. 2) In this case, switches (5 and 12) can be deleted. Clamp red lead of gearbox (9) directly into spring C on Duo base (1); and clamp red lead of blower (2) directly into spring B on Turbo base (1) will be also OK. The unused switches can be used as connecting leads.
[6] Challenge + Duo + Turbo + Flying disc in series : 1) The connection is base on [5], so we should only insert Flying disc into this circuitry. 2) Pull out red lead of battery case (3) from spring B on Flying disc base (1). 3) Pull out black lead of blower (2) from spring A on Turbo base (1). 4) Clamp red lead of battery case (3) into spring A on Turbo base (1). 5) Clamp black lead of blower (2) into spring B on Flying disc base (1).
OPERATION 1) Four switches (7, 5, 4 and 12) must be all in ON position for the whole circuitry to work; any switch in OFF position will stop the whole circuitry. 2) In this case, switches (5, 4 and 12) can be deleted. Clamp red lead of gearbox (9) directly into spring C on Duo base (1); and to clamp red lead of blower (2) directly into spring B on Turbo base (1); and to clamp red lead of motor (2) into spring B on Flying disc base (1) will be also OK. The unused switches can be used as connecting leads. 3) Since now all four battery cases are in serial connection, the total voltage reaches 12V, so the spark will be obviously stronger than that of single toy (3V.). It is very dangerous to have any spark in gassy environment.

[7] Challenge + Duo +Turbo + Flying disc in series-parallel : 1) Firstly make Challenge and Duo in series as [4]. 2) Then make Flying disc and Turbo in series as follows : 1) Pull out red lead of battery case from spring B on Turbo base. Then clamp it into spring A on Flying disc base. 2) Then pull out black lead of motor from spring A on Flying disc base and clamp it into spring B on Turbo base. 3) Then parallel connecting second series to first series as follows : 1) Pull out two red leads from spring B on Flying disc base. 2) Clamp one red lead of battery case into spring B on Alarm base, clamp another red lead of switch into spring C on Challenge base.
OPERATION 1) Now switch (7) on Challenge base is the main switch. Switch it on for the whole circuitry to start their action.
