Wayne Barron helped his grandson, Max Wiebe, make a “brushbot” yesterday during a “Maker Fair” at the Fort Frances Public Library in conjunction with March Break activities there. Kids and adults worked together to make the mini-robots out of the heads of toothbrushes, batteries, and cellphone vibration motors. Once assembled, the ’bots move around on their own. Participants also made buttons.
