- Educates on the fundamentals of engineering, motors, circuits, and physics
- Appropriate for children aged 5 and above
The 25 Pack Bristlebots is a small robot that can be made by combining a toothbrush head and a vibrating pager motor. The vibrations from the motor travel down the bristles and cause the brush to move and spin on flat surfaces. You can construct a Bristlebot in your home or classroom to learn basic engineering, motors, circuits, and physics concepts (e.g. balance principles). You can alter the design of your Bristlebot by bending, twisting, and angling the chenille stems into different positions to observe how it affects the movement and direction of your Bristlebot. It typically takes between 3 to 10 minutes to build.
