Bristle Bots

AI Summary:

The Fluxspace Build Guide for Bristle Bots outlines the assembly process, emphasizing proper electrical connections. Users are instructed to affix a sticky square to the toothbrush base, connect the blue wire beneath the battery with attention to polarity (noting the battery’s larger terminal as positive), and attach the motor to the toothbrush. The blue wire must then contact the battery’s positive terminal to complete the circuit. Finally, users may personalize their Bristle Bots. The guide includes reminders regarding battery polarity and wire color coding to ensure correct assembly.
