Wiggle Worm Challenge

Bville LEGO Club
January 15, 2004
Make a wiggle worm
of at least 4 wiggles
that fits stretched out with in the size of a paper 8.5" by 11".
As you wheel it along it gets longer and shorter.
Extra challenge: motorize it.

After talking about the Mars rovers using solar panels
and seeing one really work in the cold but clear day,
3 new students and 3 old FLL team members started to work on today's challenge.

One way to make a wiggle is to have an off center connection.


An example of the of off center wobble and a motorized version.

Add to it with an other lever and the wiggle can be pulled shorter.

Push along by the middle and this 4 joint worm wiggles along!
