Problem Statement
A Bristle bot is an example of motor that is capable to run straight line. The motor should be able to gain children's attention.

Starting Point

 * Obtain a feel for visual conception through this | Youtube Tutorial Video.
 * Look at previous teams documentations.

Materials list

 * 1) Three brushes: one that serves as a base, the rest of the two brushes will serve for balancing purpose.
 * 2) A double-sided foam tapes.
 * 3) AA battery that may be integrated in the brush.

Previous Problems
Most teams having work on this project encountered some of these problems:
 * The model is moving in a loop of random directions. PreviousTeam'sModel.jpg
 * The model falls immediately after the motor activation.
 * There are difficulties to balance the brush at its base so that the associated brushes create a straight line direction after the motor activation.

Designing the Implementation Process
many of the previous design chose to use: The design that I chose to make the brush run straight was:
 * Three nails stick to a double-sided foam tapes.
 * wires to attach into the motor compartment.
 * A battery attach to the bristle bot.
 * To form a base with three brushes.
 * Bend the brush back to give to the brush a particular shape.
 * A motor battery was already include inside the brushes.

Next Steps
I did not arrive to move the brush in a forward direction and straight. Most of the time the brush ran randomly, then falls. The model still lacks its creativity in the design.
