Turn a piece of cardboard into an inchworm!
~
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!
