I put together my FIRST FOOTBALL FIELD, now!?, I'm stuck figuring out the 8 motors?

Here's some photo's to show you what i'm trying to understand how the motor's and Gear's have anything to do with one another?
Never done this before, Can anyone help me complete the last construction with the motor set up? 405-366-6101.
I was told I could get the person who manufactured the board a holler after the New Year, but I don't like waiting 4 months on anyone after purchasing the parts without any instructions on how to put it together.

I believe those little gears are counter weights. The weight on the edge of the motor shaft is what creates the vibration. Those look like 12 or 15 volt radio shack motors. You will need to buy (12v or 15v) adapters for each of the motors on your game board. Then, you will need to shave down the wires and attach the copper ends to the motor ends (the little needle eyes on the back).

Secure the wiring with electrical tape and finally with heat-shrinking tubes.

Then you'll need a switch (preferrably remote control) to plug all of the adpaters into. A multi-outlet extension cord will also be needed.

If this is making sense so far, write back and I'll continue.

I can give you a hand with the motors. Eight is a lot of motors. I have build a board 50 x 30 inches and I use two motors. I had four to begin with but it runs better with two. It depends where you place them. Give me your email and I can send picture to you. With one adaptor you are fine up to four motors. You can check my posts about motors.

If you really want four motors you put one in each corner.

--- I have all the wires in tacked, i'm just waiting to see how the motor's mount to the board from anyone who can give me some insight on that.
I got the 15 amp power switch, but you said some about a remote?, hmm?, tell me about that too, and i'll make my next board have that remote set up..

Use double side adhesive foam tape. It works for me. Another idea, you can make counter weight for the motors using two 4-40 nut glued with epoxy on a piece of ½ by ½ inch brass. You make a tiny hole that fits the rod and you glue it with epoxy to the rod. Yes the motors are inside the black boxes.
You should keep an acces from underneath the board. We nerver know what can happen to the motors and wires. Don't forget to use a rheostat or speed controller, that way you can control the vibration of the board.
