You simply can't take "funny" out of overkill

Usually, the best way to wash your teeth is via your Mk.1 Arm. It's faster, cheaper and it gets everywhere. As per usual, this won't satisfy anyone. One must overkill.

Many robotic creations have graced our seasoned eyes, from the most advanced and impressive to the most idiotic and dumb of them all. However, few have been worthy of our appreciation as being practical.

We don't rush in considering the electric toothbrush as being entirely practical, but at least it aims to serve a purpose: cleaner teeth, hands-free! Of course, this can't come without some sort of drawback. A damn helmet would be a first, and the second is that it only cleans your front teeth.

These drawbacks seem to be OK with 24-year-old Redditeure Simone Giertz from San Francisco, who got so many people attracted to this thing maybe because it was practical, funny or just ridiculous, that she decided to post a set of instructions for the tooth brushing device after countless requests.

When you look at it carefully, the small DIY doesn't serve much purpose, but at least it looks fun, so that won't be an issue at parties. Simone said that she built the small device using the highly popular Arduino controller for the tooth brushing project.

In the end, our seasoned eyes will consider this robotic invention just as useless as many others before it, but at least it's humorous in an honest and obviously juvenile way. Enjoy.
