It's amazing what pops into your head when you're at a loose end...
I was thinking about making a vibrobot, wondered where to get a vibrating motor, and my mind wandered to the motor in my mobile phone...
No, I couldn't, I need the phone.
But I wanted to build a vibrobot, or a bugbot. Maybe a bristlebot.
But I needed the phone...
And, from the need to compromise, was born... PhoneBot!

Signing UpStep 1What you need.
Obviously, you need a phone set to vibrate, but to make it dance around, it needs to be on springy legs.
That means you need some stiff wire to make a frame and legs. Paperclips are ideal - I used large ones for the frame, and small ones to tie it together.
You'll also need two pairs of pliers, a vice (or some other clamping device), soldering kit and a small sponge.
Oh, and a lot of patience.
