Spider Peg Bot. OK this is not a bristle bot. It uses the same principles. It has a vibrating electric motor taken from a toothbrush. The other components are a Clothes Peg and a couple of plastic cable ties. I have included a voice over to talk you through the construction.

Tools used:
Soldering Iron
Hot Glue Gun
Pliers
Cutters
Wire Strippers

Components:
Vibrating Electric Motor (Mine came from a toothbrush)
Plastic Cable Ties (2)
Clothes Peg
Insulated Wire (I used some from a bit of telephone cable)

These are very addictive to make, however I intend to move on to something else now.
