Card Shuffler MOTORIZED!

Engine Upgrade Kit

I have loved this fantastic Card Shuffler  since day 1.
I only wanted it AUTOMATIC!

Why would you want to make it Automatic?
Making it automatic means giving a rotation speed that is always constant, 
thus ensuring a number of jams close to zero.
(Tested only on the basic version)

...and because it's "cool"!

I damaged some micro motors of the "Maker's Essential Kit A" before arriving at a tester version that worked properly.
Aesthetically it will not be up to the design of this shuffler (I tried my best), but all in all acceptable.

For those more knowledgeable in the field:
Yes, we are supercharging the 8v motor, but only for short periods of a few minutes.
This is necessary to have good speed and strength. 
Without the voltage regulator, in fact, the cards often jam due to lack of torque/power, in addition to everything being terribly slow.
