|
## 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: Fold the middle
|
|
|
|
Make a fold in the cardboard right in the middle of the long side.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 3: Body arch
|
|
|
|
Make two smaller folds at the ends which lay flat on the ground. This is the base of the inchworm's body.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 4: Front teeth
|
|
|
|
Fold in each of corner on one end of the cardboard. This is the front of the inchworm which will grip the ground.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 5: Back legs
|
|
|
|
Using scissors or a cutter (watch the fingers!), cut slits in the other end to make finger-like (these will be the actually) shapes. Fold one up, one down, and so on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 6: Mounting the board
|
|
|
|
Using tape or a glue gun, mount the @boardname@ on one side.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 7: Mounting the servo
|
|
|
|
Attach the servo (with tape or glue) on the **edge** of the other side of the cardboard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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 folded part of the 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!
