This is a thing, I guess?
Anyway, I'm here to make things that don't look like they'll work but hopefully will. If anyone has suggestions or stuff, this is the place to ask!
Thanks!
Now for a robot:
<big>Featherweight</big>
<big><big><big>Noothgrush</big></big></big>
But that Noothgrush on my toothbrush... well, some are friendly, some are not.
It's named after a character in the Dr. Seuss book There's a Wocket in my Pocket. Dr. Seuss was a genius and a madman. So, the robot's a bristlebot melty. Yes, this is completely viable. By making each individual bristle-pad face a slightly different direction, this thing will move in a circle, and it'll move quickly. By varying the motor inputs...blah blah blah. It's also for the lols, so be gentle!
According to wikipedia, these little guys are a type of walker, so yeah? That's good maybe?
"A bristlebot or brushbot is an extremely simple form of walking robot. It is one of the simplest of all mobile robots, both in its function and its construction. As a result of this ease of construction, they have become popular projects at the school science fair level."
Wikipedia article
It also explains how a bristlebot with more than one pad can turn, so I'm sorta banking on that.
Really, I'm not sure what this is or how to stat it 100% (Alex mostly did my other bots' stats), so if anyone wants to help me with stats, I'd be seriously grateful.
