BristleMouse

A simple BristleBot in shape of a mouse or rat. We made this as part of a Harry Potter themed birthday party, where the kids could make their own Scabbers pet. The project requires soldering and the use of hot glue, therefore adults are needed for assistance and supervision.

Required materials:

* electronics:
* battery holder for a single AAA Battery
* a small vibration motor
* a small switch
* some wires
* nose:
* pink sponge rubber
* white thread as whiskers
* ears:
* pink paper
* colored paper
* other:
* three toothbrushes
* pink wool as tail
* acrylic paint
* googly eyes


Steps:

* Paint the mouse with the acrylic paint
* Solder battery holder, switch and vibration motor together. Make sure everything works before proceeding
* Use hot glue to glue the switch and the motor to each side of the battery holder. Make sure, switch and motor are still working. You might want to glue the motor inclined so it will rotate freely once put into the mous
