The bristlebot consists of a small 3vdc pager motor, watch battery, and a toothbrush end. Located on the motor's shaft there is a tiny wieght that wobbles. This wieght is off-centered so each time it wobbles the "robot" will go forward and move. To make your "robot" move faster simply bend the bristles at an acute angle. For more information just log on to youtube and search "how to make a bristlebot."
