Vibrobot

Let's Make Robots Robots
1

A vibrating robot I made for my little brother's 10th birthday. It has 2 batteries, a led and a vibrating motor from cellphone, all on a 20pin IC stand. The 2 resistors are for decoration and balance. I don't know what else to say about it...

That is really neat!

And very inventive, too. Well done.

Thx

Thank you for your nice comment, I’m glad you like it :slight_smile:

I like the use of the IC socket…

…much more hygenic than repurposing old toothbrushes. The resistor stabiliers are a win also.

Make a bunch of them and have a war!

Thank you

Thx for the comment. I was thinking of making alot of them, but it would eat alot of batteries, and I had only 2 motors and I burned one with bad soldering =(

If I find cheap small solar cells somewhere in croatia I will try to make alot of them, some green and some red :slight_smile:

That’s really cool. Hope

That’s really cool. Hope your brother likes it.

Batteries

Hi, that’s very good and so simple. Simple is always good. What batteries did you use? What voltage are they?

Thx

Thanks. I used some random 1.5v small round batteries, 2 of them. I got them from toys I dissasembled for parts :smiley:
