PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER. You can build it
from the instructions or make something from

is to create your rst model so you have
something to experiment with.

fun, but also an important part of inventing.
Playing is like a test run. It's a chance to see
how well your invention works and look for
ways you can make it better.

experimenting! Add new Bits, swap parts with
other inventions, or take all the pieces apart
