Race Into Robotics with the Science Buddies Bristlebot, 20-Pack!
Bring hands-on robotics and STEM learning to your classroom with the Bristlebot, 20-Pack. Perfect for group projects, this kit lets students transform ordinary toothbrush heads into vibration-powered robots while exploring engineering, motion, and swarm behavior.
Students build and test their Bristlebots, learning how simple circuits, motors, and mechanical design create motion. They’ll experiment with speed, direction, and interaction, gaining practical experience with basic electrical circuits and energy conversion, the same principle engineers use in cell phones, robotics, and industrial machinery.
Ideal for classrooms, after-school programs, and STEM clubs, the Bristlebot 20-Pack encourages creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving while making learning about robotics fun and engaging.
Key Questions You'll Explore:
- What role does weight distribution play in keeping robots balanced?
- Why do vibrating motors cause forward movement?
- Can you modify the bristles to win in a race?
Building Bristlebots teaches core robotics concepts like circuits, motors, and mechanical design. Connecting batteries to motors shows how electrical energy creates motion, a principle used in everything from cell phones to industrial machinery.
