Problem Statement (Finish description)

 * Design bristlebot that goes straight
 * Organize a workshop for kids that they can walk away from with a bristlebot
 * Build an extension to the most simple bristlebot to serve as an example Next Step for kids.

.
 * Prototypes tested
 * there were two prototypes tested for the simple bristle bot. the first was the one i made,https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bristle_bot.jpg, the second was from the team that worked on the bristlebot project before me.https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3APrototype.JPG
 * Final Design
 * this is the pcture of the final design of the bristle bot that goes straight,https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:First_bot_final.jpg. and the tutorial on how to make it is here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fF_xPwiuB6Q.
 * this is the picture of the remote control bot, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Car_finished.JPG. and this is a video of me testing it, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atBCJZaNSwc.
 * Utilization of Knowledge in Design
 * what i learned from watching the previous designs and from the video links on this page https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:Jbaguio2290/ENES-100/project_1, was that to make a bristle bot go straight the center of gravity of the bot needs to be close to the bristles and in a line.

Next Steps
" the next step is to improve on the current bristle bots and make new and better ones. like a one that follows a line or another that follows lights. then a bristle bot team needs to be put together that will take part and compete in the minimaker fair against other teams."
