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!
