Usb. Simulator. Uav. Communist Robot - Where do you stand on the future? Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories - Bristlebot: A tiny directional. The BristleBot is a simple and tiny robot with an agenda. The ingredients? One toothbrush, a battery, and a pager motor. The result? Serious fun. The BristleBot is our take on the popular vibrobot, a simple category of robot that is controlled by a single vibrating (eccentric) motor. The starting point is of course the toothbrush. Cut off the handle of the toothbrush, leaving only a neat little robotics platform. Next, we need a vibrating pager motor or other tiny motor with an unbalanced output shaft. The kind that I got are happy to run on almost any common voltage– probably a range of 1-9 V. The last substantial ingredient is some foam tape. Attach the motor to the foam tape. A better method is to bend one of the leads down flush with the foam tape, so that you can *stick* the battery to the foam tape as well and still make an electrical connection.
