How to Make a Better Bristlebot!

A bristle bot is a fun little robot that you can make out of a few things around the house.
They are really quite easy to make and are a lot of fun!

Many Bristlebots are the same, mine is different!

I will be teaching you how to make a Bristlebot using a Pulsar Oral B Toothbrush!

These new Bristlebots also look really cool!

Step 1: Supplies & Tools

Supplies

1. Pulsar Oral B Toothbrush
(the reason we need this brush is because there is a tiny vibrating motor inside which will be powering our little robot!)
2. Double Sided Adhesive Tape
3. 1.5V Button Cell Battery

Tools

1. Wire Stripper
2. Scissors
3. Tiny Scissors
4. Pliers/Wire Cutter

Dude i just finished mine and it is awesome!!!! I am 11 years old and i have been searching instructables for along time and couldn't find anything but advanced stuff that said it was really easy. I also have like no parts in house at all but i do have that kind of tooth brush. My friend and i were planning on making a little invention thing where we invented stuff.
