Conceive
Market/Customer Needs
 * On the seminar day, as a group, we presented our bristlebots to attract the attention from the other HCC Engineering students by unleashing a swarm of bots with eclectic range of sizes and shapes.

Initial Target Goals
 * Having a variety of different shapes, and structures bristlebots.
 * Designing creative forms of bots with original customization.

System Performance Metrics
 * Release 15 bristelbots at once from doorway of CL-158 and video them traveling down the halls in different directions.

Project Cost and Schedule
 * Make the bots out of $1 toothbrushes from the Family Dollar Store and/or similar stores
 * If the attachments have to be added, make sure to use cheap materials

Alternatives
 * Find a less expensive robot platform that mimics the imagery of Hexbugs.
 * Find reusable materials that can be found around the house and added on the bristlebots.

Design

 * Reverse Engineering:
