Bristlebots!!

[Odin 0]

Who has heard of a bristlebot?(aka. brushbot)

It's a little robot that zooms around places made out of a toothbrush head a battery and a vibrating motor.

I wanna build one now!! You can use a pager motor(used in the video) or more powerful motors like a PS2 controller motor. I think I have an old broken PS2 controller so I'm gonna use that.

But heres a video

And how do you embed videos?

Try to make a video out of it by a video phone (If you have one) and email it to your email and save it and try to get help from someone more expirienced with stuff like that?

The Bristlebot looks AWESOME!!!!

Well, if you do use your video phone, send the video to my email and I'll try to convert it to something everybody can play and/or upload it to youtube. I've sent u a pm with my email.

In that case I have all the stuff to do it with. I just need some time to do it.
