Make a bristlebot (toothbrush robot, get it?)

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.

So simple and so much fun. This one is a stress reliever, when you have a worktable with a little fence on the edges, so the robot doesn't fall to the ground and get eaten by a cat.

Beautiful, simple. I made a brush motor out of a fingernail brush and small dc motor with a weight for a physics class I taught. But it wasn't as elegant as this.

There is a pager motor in
gamecube controller
p2 controller
xbox 360 controller
and much more..!
but they are slightly bigger,
so what you wanna do is
mount it on 2 heads (toothbrush)
and then you use a bigger battery and your done!
