''I was introduced to a YouTube video called how to make a better bristlebot. After watching, I started making plans on how to create my own bristlebot with the material giving to me by the instructor. The main ideas for this project revolves around a low budget build, costing around $1 to build start to finish.''

Week1 Scavenge
''I made visual sketches of how I want my bristlebot to look and how I might want to construct the bristlebot. This is to help me paint a mental image of the bristlebot before I start the deconstruction phase of the toothbrush.''

''In my design, I only want to use item giving to me. This is when I started gathering the material that I know will be useful for the construction of the bristlebot. These materials consist of: double sided tape, scissors, needle nose plier, nails, and wires. '' Link to associated /CDIO/ documents.

Week2 Construction
''I built my bristlebot with one brush head, one motor, and AA battery. in order to hold the motor to the back of the bristle head, you'll need double sided tape. to keep the bush from falling over, I used three screws as a counter balance. finally the battery was mounted on top of the motor, because there was lack of space on either side of the bristle head. in order to create a strong hold on all compounet i used a lot of double sided tape to keep the build as sturdy as possible.''

Week3 Issues
''Issues i ran into was my bristlebot has a lot of power but has a hard time staying upright. i thought if i remove so weight and rearrange some component it might fix the problem. unfortunately, it only make the problem worse then it already is. i became extremely difficult to mount the motor and battery on the bristle head, it became a balancing act to keep the bristlebot in an upright position. electrical tape was used to hold the the connection from battery to the motor. even though the bristlebot worked, i still wish it worked more efficiently without it falling apart. my plane for this project is to revisit after a couple weeks to make changes. the is the YouTube Video showcasing my work, also showing this i need to improve BristleBot Project.''
