Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus includes a housing, a rotational motor situated within the housing, a vibrating mechanism, and a plurality of appendages each having an appendage base proximal to the housing and an appendage tip distal from the housing. One or more of the appendages are adapted to cause the apparatus to move across a surface in a forward direction generally defined by a longitudinal offset between the appendage base and the appendage tip. whereby the first appendage and second appendage are configured to apply forces against two differently laying surface planes to produce a net force in a direction generally defined by the longitudinal offset such that the net force propels the apparatus in the forward direction between the two differently laying surface planes.
