|
## Duration: ~45 minutes
|
|
|
|
## Materials
|
|
* Cardboard
|
|
* Scissors or cutters
|
|
* glue gun or tape
|
|
* 1 paper clip
|
|
|
|
## Step 1: cardboard
|
|
|
|
Cutout a cardboard rectangle. You can use the @boardname@ as a ruler to figure out the size.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: center fold
|
|
|
|
Fold the cardboard in half over the short edge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 3: legs
|
|
|
|
Fold each end so they rest flat on the ground.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 4: front teeth
|
|
|
|
Fold each corners on one end of the cardbard. This will be the front of the inchworm which is supposed to grip the ground.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 5: back teeth
|
|
|
|
Using a scissor or a cutter (watch the fingers!), cut out various strips in the other edge. Fold one after the other.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 6: mounting the board
|
|
|
|
Using tape or a glue gun, mount the @boardname@ on one side and the microservo on the cardboard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 7: mounting the servo
|
|
|
|
Attach the servo on the **edge** of the other cardboard side.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 8: Cable clean up (optional)
|
|
|
|
Use tape to route the cables nicely on the inchworm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 9: attaching paper clip to servo
|
|
|
|
Unfold a paper clip and attach it to the servo arm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 10: attaching paper clip to cardboard
|
|
|
|
Slide the folder paper clip into the cardboard, and use tape to secure it.
|
|
You might need to toy around with the size of the clip so that the servo rotation opens the inchworm sufficiently.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 11: it's ready!
|
|
|
|
Your inchworm is ready!
