Bristlebots!

Bristlebots are super-easy to make, fun little robots made from a toothbrush head, a pager motor, some tape, wires and a button battery.  Putting them together is simple and fast.  The challenge is in customizing your Bristlebot.  Can you trim the "legs" (bristles) to make your bristlebot go in a straight line or around in a circle?  Can you figure out how to make it go faster or slower?  What about making a few with friends and then setting up a bristlebot race track, maze or sumo ring?  You can even make a massive bristlebot with a big brush (like a scrub brush) and a bigger motor!
