Hi everyone. So i am back with a very simple robotic project this time. Anyone who wants to introduce robotics to their kids this is a very easy project to start with.
I made a video tutorial this time. It is a first for me so please do excuse the quality of the video.
Just a few points that i would like to make which i have not mentioned in the video.
I have used a pager motor for this project and not a DC motor. You can do this with a DC motor but if you want to get the vibrating effect it would be better to use the pager motor.
A pager motor is a motor that makes pager and mobile phones vibrate. I found mine in an old Sony Ericson W series phone. It was not easy to take this phone apart but fortunately when i finally took it out the motor was working. So worth it :).
I did try this with a DC motor that i used before with the wiggle bot experiment. If you attach only the DC motor without the fan the brushbot does not move. It moves if you attach the fan but a brushbot as the name suggests needs to be done preferably with a tooth brush and for that the tiny pager motor suits the best.
You need the following items:
1. The brush part of a toothbrush
2. A pager motor
3. A button cell
4. 2 small wires
5. Double sided tape
So please follow the tutorial and make your own brushbot.
