Brushbot workshop at big draw at Tate Liverpool 2010 [vimeo video link...]

For the Big Draw I ran some make your own 'Brushbot' workshops, a larger variation on the classic toothbrush 'Bristlebot' using a nailbrush, 3v motor, elastic bands and bluetack. As they are quite large you can attach a pen and set it off to draw for you! They move in different ways and make different patterns depending on where you put the pen and motor. Here is how to make one [download instructions]
