Styrobots for school

Styrobot
From the MAKE Flickr photo pool

RobotGrrl is making and selling these bright little bots to raise money for robotic education -

This is a Styrobot that I created. It's a form of a BristleBot, but it uses a pipecleaner instead to vibrate and jiggle around. It's really cute as the googley eyes move all over the place when turned on (antenna pushed in) :D

The purpose of these Styrobots is to raise money for me to attend Stanford's EPGY Artificial Intelligence program. It's a REALLY fun and promising opportunity, however it comes with a cost.

To foot cover that cost, Styrobots are available on RobotGrrl.Etsy.com @ 20 beans each, for a good cause. Good Luck RobotGrrl!

Hey, great way to help RobotGrrl! I have two of her Styrobots and love them.

The link back to her blog has an extra space which prevents it from working.
