The Battle of the Bristle Bot Bugs!

May 8, 2017

This Tuesday, May 9th, at 3:15 we are constructing bristle bot bugs that skitter around a table top, powered by an offset motor. Then we’ll see who’s bot stays in the ring the longest! These bots have parts that have to stay at the library, so our bugs will hang out on display at the library for a few days. Check out what these bristle bot buggies might look like!
