This is a very simple and easy to make insect robot and kids can make their own and also enjoy playing with it. It just need 3 major components – a vibration motor, a battery and few wires to make the legs. As success rate of building this robot is high, it really encourage kids to make the 1st robot. Also its movement is random and any with love to play with this innocent bug.
From 2007 to 2013 many youtubers made bristle robot using a tooth brush as the legs.

In 2014 I have introduce a different concept and modified the legs with metal wires (6 resistors) and it was look wise more like an insect. youtube.com/watch?v=jki7g5zXwjg,
The concept was well appreciated and many youtubers came up with different look and feel.

2016, I made the robot using a 3D pen. All the legs from ABS. youtube.com/watch?v=Pg4yKxt6uNk
Now I like to give it a floating functionality so that it can move on water.
