by Anne Carey at Left Brain Craft Brain
Use your scribblebot motor with an old hot wheels to try a new style of scribbling. Don’t forget that you need to make the motor unbalanced in order to get the scooting motion. You can also use a broccoli band to hold the wires on the battery if you don’t want to attach a bulky battery holder.
