Bristlebot Vibrating Robots

After running the Bristlebot race with your bot, you will design the bot on Tinker CAD. 

After completing and running your Bristlebots, upload your summary to SeeSaw.

​ If you prefer, you can watch an assembly video that shows you how to build your bristlebots.
Variations
  • Try building more bristlebots with even more types of toothbrushes. Which toothbrush head works the best?
  • If you would like to build a larger robot that works on the same principle as the bristlebot (vibrational motion), check out the Science Buddies project Art Bot: Build a Wobbly Robot Friend That Creates Art. The electronic parts required to build an Art Bot are already included in your Basic Vibrobot kit from Science Buddies.
  • If you would like to try a more advanced project, you can build a light-following bristlebot in the Build a Light-Tracking Bristlebot project.
