Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
Tribbles and Vibillows

Location:   Expo Red   

Incorporate a simple electronic circuit into a stuffed toy to make it purr and hum. A cell phone vibrator motor and some fake fur combine wonderfully in this hands-on workshop. Make a humming Tribble that activates when squeezed, or a Vibillow with a big friendly button.
