E. TROUBLE SHOOTING:

If your Robug does not vibrate when you activate the battery pack:

• Check if the batteries are installed in correct polarities.

• Replace the batteries (be sure they are inserted properly).

• Check that all connections are intact and are connected in correct polarities.

If your Robug does not move to the intended route:

• Try gently bending the metal legs in different directions. It will cause the Robug to move in different

routes.

F. FUN FACTS

How does it work?

The batteries provide power to the motor causing it to rotate. This rotation occurs at a

frequency of 10,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The "off center spin plate" attached to the motor spin

shaft creates a vibration force when rotated by the motor. This causes the whole system to vibrate in high

frequency. If, on the other hand, the spin plate was symmetrical or designed as a full circular plate with a

hole at the center, the spin action would be balanced and would not produce a vibration. Without the

vibration, the Robug would not move across the floor as you see it now.

Why does it buzz louder with the soda can?

Do you notice how much louder the buzzing sound is when you

install a soda can? The hollow soda can resonates with the vibration, which serves to amplify the sound

produced. To achieve a different sound, replace the soda can with a plastic bottle or put a small amount of

water in the soda can. Can you hear the difference? What happens if you drop a couple of paperclips in the

can or a couple of small coins?

Think Green Science - Recycle! Tin can recycling is a great success story!

aluminum beverage cans are recycled than any other consumer packaging materials. In the United States

alone, over 130 billion cans are produced each year and almost 50% of them are recycled! Several factors

contribute to the success of aluminum recycling. First, it is extremely cost-effective for companies to

recycle aluminum. Recycling takes only 5% of the energy required to dig up and process the ore - said

another way, that's 95% less energy to recycle! This saves companies a lot of money and is much better

for the environment. Many countries also offer some type of 'reward' if you return the can to a recycle

center. Do you get money back for your soda cans? Aluminum is also a very soft metal making it malleable

or easy to use and it resists corrosion. All of this combined makes aluminum incredible stuff! Efforts are

underway across the globe to increase recycling, and you have just taken a step to do your part by recycling

a can and putting it toward another use!

Did you know....

A growing number of people have taken up a new hobby: collecting tin cans! Companies

that produce special designs or limited edition cans have sparked a lot of attention. Best of all, the cans

are being recycled and it is inexpensive and fun.

How many empty soda cans does it take to equal one kilogram?

Answer: Approximately 65.

What is that buzzing noise?

Bees, mosquitoes and many other insects emit a buzzing noise. But do you

know how they do it? With their wings! In the insect world, vibration is caused by the insect's wingbeats.

Each time the insect moves its wings, it causes a vibration. The more wingbeats, the greater the vibration!

Moreover, it is that vibration that we hear.

However, increasing the vibration does not necessarily mean the bug is louder - even though a bug might

have more wingbeats it may not be as loud as another insect with less wingbeats. For example, compare a

mosquito to a bee. A mosquito beats its wings much faster than a bee, but a bee is louder because its

wings are larger.

Over 70% of insects that use sound to communicate do so through vibration and many insects have

vibration receptors that enable them to 'hear' the vibrations. These vibrations are used for different

purposes, among them:

• Attracting a mate

• Informing others of new food sources

• Alerting others to danger
