Steerable Bristle Bot

I took apart an RC boat and glued the board and the battery to the head of a toothbrush. I connected my own pager motors and a charging port to the underside of the bot.

Doesn't this take away the fun randomness of where it will go? Part of the fun is "Where will it go next?"

@noobeable You'd just have to use a larger bristle base with straight bristles.

@bachaddict good idea but wouldn't that be to much on a small tooth brush head?

also you would need all the side parts to control the servo and lots of energy, and still if you move the motor you will completely mess up how it works.

i had an idea if you took a servo and used it to rotate the whole vibrating motor, it should change the direction of the bot.
