Students assembled Bristle Bots from kits purchased through a RCEF grant. They assembled the mini robots with a partner using a small motor, battery, and toothbrush head. Then we dipped them into primary color paint and let them run on a white piece of paper. We had a visiting high school student who is doing a Career Exploration Passage on mechanical and electrical engineering.
Students also attempted a simple homopolar motor. We got the templates from Babbledabbledo.com.
