Vibrating, Red-Eyed Bot.

I recently built these two tiny robots from coin cell batteries.  I love the coin cell battery holders because they let me solder a permanent connection to the pager motor.  My red-eyed bot actually has a switch, which I salvaged from some old electronics.  Some “helping hands” and a magnifying glass made the soldering fairly simple. This robot was made possible after viewing “How to Make a Mini Bug Robot.”

“Lenny”, shown below, is made from electronic components I salvaged from a variety of e-waste items.  His body is built from a pcb once inside a kid’s calculator. While Lenny lacks a switch, he makes up for it in character.
