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.
