With colorful chenille stems, wiggly eyes, and a toothbrush head body, our ScooterBots are as adorable as they are educational. What makes them go? A battery-powered pulsating motor causes the individual bristles (or legs) to vibrate and shimmy, sending the bot scooting across any flat surface. Dozens of variables are possible. What happens if you trim or bend the bristles? Connect several bots together? Add stabilizing wire legs? A memorable way to teach principles of engineering and electric circuitry.
