MotoMouse

thingiverse

The idea was to create a game for my kitten. So initially I wanted to do a kind of mouse able to walk even if it had been turned upside down. As always, if possible, I try to make everything from recycled materials. Then, using the principle of operation of the "BristleBot" (many examples in youtube), I created this species of mouse (although actually reminds me more of a hedgehog ..). Unfortunately I have to confess that the cat does not seem very interested .. I am convinced that he would have preferred if it had been made ‹with edible material ... Here's a video: http://youtu.be/PRgVewKrWZA Instructions Materials needed: A microswitch 6.2 x 6.2 x 4.1mm (very common, I recovered from an old printer). A engine vibration for smartphones: diameter, 6mm x 19mm maximum length (including acentric) A paper clip (0.8mm diameter) Two battery (type 1.5v LR754) Nylon fishing thread Double-sided tape A piece of doormat instructions: Insert the motor and putting out the wires into the slot fold piece of paper clips, and solder it to the microswitch Solder a wire of the engine to microswitch Insert the microswitch Insert and tied into the small holes of the nose and tail a few pieces of nylon thread Tighten the two threaded parts in the nose and tail to the right depth, and if you need use glue to lock. Cut to fit three pieces of doormat and secure them with double-sided adhesive good job
