Bristlebot - Vibrobot: Homebrew Robotics
The Bristlebot
We are entering a new era: homebrew robotics. For me the most impressive example of this shift is the so called bristlebot developed by Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, that is somehow a counterpart of the LED throwie from the Graffiti Research Lab. All you need to build this pseudo little bot is an old or cheap toy that got a motor inside, then a toothbrush and a button cell. The rest is fun manufacturing. You can use glue and tape instead of soldering. The bristlebot is a version of a vibrobot. And hey, I sense that this should also be the shift towards homebrew research.
