Is it possible/practical to make a steerable bristlebot? If there are multiple vibrating motors and bristles in different directions, then it could be controlled. Has anyone done this?

In the video you can see this on bounces and moves around a bit, but has none of the speed and directionality of the bristlebot.
Saw another post (chibots list iirc) where someone had trimmed the leads of the bristlebot down about 1/4 of their original length to make it more stable. I can't imagine that is easy to do and get even.

Randy,
Excellent! Did you wire the solar cell directly to the motor? Where did you get the solar cell are you used?
