We did something similar to this in my basic electronics class, but it was much more simple. All we used was a length of insulated wire, two paper clips, a "D" battery and a large magnet. Its a good way to watch the motor principle in action.

im thinking about connecting it to an xmod board.. so then i can have a on/off switch and i can also upgrade it to a 6-cell.

sorry for a double post, but i made it go off of an xmod gen3 board , not that fast, considering im using AAA's instead of AA's and the connection isnt as strong, but i can always make it a 6-cell

Why wouldn't you just wire in a switch? I don't understand why you need to use the entire circuit board just for a switch...
