Cheezer and Louzer

The boy and I built this cool toy called a Vibrobot today. I got to use my soldering iron and it actually WORKED! (Yay)

We pulled the little motor out of a $2 handheld fan and mounted it onto a mint tin, powered by a 1.5v AA battery. I put a little rubber thing on the motor’s spindle to make it off-center and that gives the whole thing a vibration that makes it move.

More pictures here in my picasa photo album.

And here is the short video.

I got the design idea from this article in my favorite magazine, MAKE!

Thanks Make!
