The Arrow booth at Bay Area Maker Faire offers you the opportunity to engineer some robotic entertainment of your own.
At our Bristlebot station, kids and adults alike can learn how to build their own mini-robot out of a toothbrush head and a tiny, battery powered motor that makes it zip around. We’ll have a full construction kit as well as lots of supplies on hand to personalize your creations—we provide the materials and instructions, you provide the vision.
Bristlebots show that all it takes to be a maker are a few basic materials and a lot of creativity. First, here's a simplified instruction sheet if you want to give it a shot at home. For a more detailed version of the instructions, we've provided a PDF below.
