The Robot




I don't know what went wrong here. I had my bristleot working and all of the sudden, after a long period of not being used, the motor went out.
So what is a bristlebot?
This is actually quite easy to make. It takes a toothbrush, a pager motor, and a battery.
Watch it go.
The one I made worked beautifully. I'm not sure how a motor can burn out, when it isn't being used.
Oh well.. I guess I have to tear open another cell phone...
