This robot as a BIG version of the tiny Bristlebot robot. Using an eccentric drive motor, this robot will show you how a cell phone vibrates by using an off-center weight being slung around by a motor. We built these types of robots in all sizes: from tiny toothbrush versions all the way to large commercial-sized sweeper brooms.
This project is just the right size to give you a fun robot that really works. It’s lightweight enough so you don’t have to use large, expensive motors or power supplies and worry about high voltage… so enjoy!

Hi this is Skylar:
Do you know of anything right now that is smaller than a clothespin that can be used to help spin and work the robot?(y)
