Here is a “BristleBot” created for my Son. This was about the easiest project of all time.
Here is all you need.
1. Vibrating Toothbrush
2. Watch Battery
3. DoubleStick Tape
Simply snip off the tip of the toothbrush, leaving enough space for tape. Then dismantle the toothbush, and save the vibrator motor. Pictured above (in front of battery).
Expose the ends of the wires that are attached to the motor.
Once you have all the parts, lay down a layer of tape to mount the motor by just attaching it to the tape. Place the battery and attach the top wire to engage the motor. I just used a “glue dot”, but a piece of tape or anything to keep it on will suffice.
