The Easy Bug robot is an innovative device designed to teach kids about circuitry. It features a unique vibration motor constructed from a discarded propeller, providing an interactive and hands-on learning experience. Secure battery contacts are easily created using metal zip ties, eliminating the risk of sharp edges and making it suitable for children's use. A compact double-sided tape securely fastens the batteries to the motor, promoting stability during experiments. A durable construction is achieved by utilizing paper clips as legs, allowing kids to freely explore and learn without worrying about fragile components. In a pioneering move, hot glue was employed in a trial phase to develop leg materials, resulting in captivating visuals for demonstration purposes. The robot's protective cap ensures a snug fit, safeguarding its internal workings while enabling students to concentrate on circuit design and operation.
