What is a Wobbly-Bot
A Wobbly-Bot is a small vibrabot that is perfect for
beginners. The kit includes a battery, a vibration motor, googly eyes, and the bristle body. It will also have special tape to connect everything. How to make a Wobbly-BotStep 1: The kit includes: pager motor, LR44 button cell battery, bristle body, mounting tape, goggly eyes.
Step 2: Push two large squares of double sided foam tape on top of the bristle body. Step 3: Push the pager motor on the first square of foam tape previously placed on the bristle body. Step 4: On the other square of foam tape place the red wire down. Make sure the wire will be able to contact the battery. Step 5: Place the button cell battery on top of the wire. Make sure (yet again) the wire is touching the battery. Maybe even touch the other wire to the top. Step 6: Now if the motor runs your good to go. Connect one of the tiny pieces of foam tape to one wire (don't pull off both pieces of wax paper on the tape). If not check the troubleshooting section below to identity your problem. Step 7: Push the double sided foam tape (with the wire on it) onto the top of the battery. If the motor previously worked and doesn't now check the troubleshooting section below. Step 8: Your done! Your cool new bot should now be speeding threw your house. Have fun! Trubleshooting & Note |

Note: I included extra pieces of double sided foam tape so when the first ones get dirty you can replace them and your wobbly-bot will last longer.
Troubleshooting: If it doesn't work make sure that both wires are contacting the battery, and make sure they are on separate sides. If when testing the motor on step 6 the motor doesn't run you probably have a bad connection between the bottom wire and the bottom of the battery. To fix this pick up the battery and pull up the wire then push the battery back on the foam tape with the wire below. Now try again, it should work well. If you got it working on step 6 and now when you push down with foam tape it doesn't work just pull the tape off and put it back on with the wire below. If your wobbly-bot stops moving just de-connect and reconnect the wires of the motor. If you have any questions or concerns email me at [email protected].
