Bristlebot robot I made. I found the original directions here:

Basically, it's an end of a toothbrush, with a pager motor and battery attached.

My bristlebot was a bit top-heavy, so I had to add some 'stabilizers' to it to keep it from tipping over. I think I need to use a better toothbrush next time.

  • Actually, the main reason it won't go straight is because I used the wrong kind of toothbrush: That one had straight bristles. Ones with angled bristles are much more directionals.

  • check out the link in the "about this video": Takes you to the page where I learned how to make it.
