Who has a pager motor no one

@xxDirtyGhettoKid Everyone who has a cell phone has one.

So technically, I can call the car that I drive a bot, because it moves.

[oskay]

@juicebab1 The use of the term "robot" here is because it can react to and interact with its environment, e.g., by turning when it hits a wall. This usage of the term is longstanding. If your car would gracefully turn around when it hits a wall, yes, everyone would call it a robot, too.

Why dont you sue the HexBug nano company?!

[oskay]

@TeenageIronman No interest in doing so. I just wish that people wouldn't say that *we* copied *them.* That's unkind.

Make a big one and ride it... LOL

[oskay]

@AssassinsCreed852 No, it's not. A hexbug nano is a Bristlebot clone, not the other way around.

I have no motor,what can i do?

[juicebab1]

It 'bugs' me that people are willing call anything that moves a robot.

@545Leo a switch just something that breaks or make a circuit. so to turn it off would be to lift the wire thats on the top so it dun touch the cell.

Awesome. A little furry toy on top and I've got a new toy to drive my cats insane with :-)
