The title explains all , this post is about how to make easy bristle bot without falling or rotating the same path without moving like an insect.

If you look other videos about making bristle bot at the end there are not much videos about real working because the bot either move some distance and fall or it moves in a predicted motion.

Yeah as you think the bristle bot is something easy to build, when we got the right components , what if we want to use the components that available readily to do it?

Yes still you can do it but it won't give you the expected result.

Here I've made a bristle bot which can be built less than 2 minutes.
