You should make it move! Can you retroactively put a little vibrating motor in it?

Great Idea! I'm going to give it a go now, I'm pretty sure I've got a couple of motors lying around somewhere.

I gave it a go, unfortuanately the motors I had where too small, and my monster too heavy. Neat idea though!
