On 30 Rock, The Pager King once said, "technology is cyclical."  So get yours now before the hipsters clean us out on these.  We've been taking them apart and using all of the bits in new ways to make simple robots...  or as air hockey pucks.

In our kit, you will find;
-A coin cell battery
-Cool wire
-Old pager

With these ingredients you will be able to make your very own robot bug simply by "hatching" the pager (it is now a robot egg) and using the plastic and circuit pieces to form the robot bug's new body.  Then just solder the vibrating motor pads with two leads and make a spot to secure that and the battery to your robot and off it goes! We believe that the best thing about this kit is the lesson of recycling by using creativity and education, what better value can you get from obsolete technology?

We recently held a workshop for a local chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters and they had much fun taking these fun things apart and making unique "bugs" out of the parts they scavenged from the internals.. You might look at our article and find some inspiration. http://www.reuseum.com/2011/01/big-brothers-big-sisters-bot-building-workshop-1-22-11/
