face off with clown face

Just a little action on the coffee table.

Of course how much action do you expect from tiny watch batteries. If you have seen the other video clips, you'll recognize the clown face. He gets around.

big eyed version of bristle bot

I wonder if I should do a better job with the masking tape? It looks a little sloppy.

Well as you can see I'm slow at getting stuff up on this blog. BTW, that's the same small bristle bot (toothbrush and small motor) as I used in the previous video with clown face.

Clown head keeps spinning

Been here before? Maybe you remember my first post on a modified toy.

After that, my wife happened to find this old toy with a clown head. That lead to the next modification (2.0 ??) check this if you like

Well putting it up on youtube and looking around the net, I discovered bristle bots. Do some searching you'll find many variations - here's a fairly large one. (quad bristle?)

Basically it's a fun way to reuse your toothbrush vs. cleaning toilets or whatever.

My first bristle bot attempt was not too stable. It moved a few inches and fell on its side. Then the idea of using a paper clip and a couple of brushes to form the TRI-BRISTLE. (like the outrigger idea for canoes)

So now I have combined the clown head and the bristle bot.
