Watching David Vernon Williamson's Wall Climber and Ceiling Crawler video and I liked the simplicity of one of his ceiling crawlers so I thought I would see if I could make a similar vehicle. Mine uses different components but is basically the same concept.
Since finishing this video I have tested my ceiling hugger on my artexed ceiling and it works quite well on the smoother sections so I am annoyed I didn't include it in this video.

Main Components
-
Polystyrene/styrofoam plate
Vibrating motor from a toothbrush or pager
Button cell battery
