Sam makes a robot

This year, after talking to some other kids at his school, Sam wanted to join a Destination Imagination team. The team he joined was working on robotics. Sam wanted to get a little more experience with building things, so we followed Make Magazine's instructions for building a vibrobot out of the motor from a toothbrush and an Altoids tin.

The video ends with Natalie saying "that sounds bad." Right after that, I turned off the recording on my phone and right as I disconnected the battery, the weight that the motor was driving popped off and bounced across the floor. I wish I had kept the video running and had Sam turn off the bot. I could have caught it.
