Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories has a tutorial on building your own little walking robot out of a toothbrush and a pager motor. The result is cute and will impress the kids. You can build several and make them race -if you can get them all going in a straight line! Link (with video)

    Looks like fun AND very little chance of damaging myself in the making of it! The kids will be thrilled!

    Cool. You make enough of these, you’ll never have to scrub anything again. Just set em loose.

    Put some temporary edging on my desk (so they can’t fall off) add water/soap and tahdah!
