SCIENCE GIZMOS: Scooter bots (Pack of 25)
$ 138.50 excl. GST
The ‘Scooter Bot’ is a science gizmo that demonstrates engineering and electric circuitry principles.
Kit contains all you need including instructions to create 25x ScooterBots using a battery-powered pulsating motor that causes the individual chenille stem bristles (or legs) to vibrate and shimmy, sending the bot scooting across any flat surface.
By adding variables to this wiggly eyed toothbrush-head body construction gives more possibilities on how it operates.
What happens if you trim or bend the bristles or connect several bots together or even add stabilizing wire legs?
Scientific Gizmos are fun and easy to use to demonstrate the properties, mechanics and applications used and taught in Physics and Chemistry labs. (NOTE: Brand may vary from image displayed). [More GIZMO options]

(Wikipedia excerpt: ..."...A gizmo is a gadget, especially one whose real name is unknown or forgotten.... A gadget is a mechanical device or any ingenious article.[2] Gadgets are sometimes referred to as gizmos. ...The etymology of the word is disputed. The word first appears as reference to an 18th-century tool in glassmaking that was developed as a spring pontil.[3] As stated in the glass dictionary published by the Corning Museum of Glass, a gadget is a metal rod with a spring clip that grips the foot of a vessel and so avoids the use of a pontil".
Gadgets were first used in the late 18th century.[4] According to the Oxford English Dictionary, there is anecdotal evidence for the use of "gadget" as a placeholder name for a technical item whose precise name one can't remember since the 1850s; with Robert Brown's 1886 book Spunyarn and Spindrift, A sailor boy's log of a voyage out and home in a China tea-clipper containing the earliest known usage in print.[5]...")
