Wiggle Worms
September 16, 2007
Make a wiggle worm with at least 22 bends.  
Use the 10 gray connectors and the 10 gray connectors and something else.
Careful of  the the pieces that are connector on one side and axle on the other 
because they will fall out of the holes in the beams.
Score = length - folded length
Measure how long it is stretched out and subtract the length when folded.
First I got to hear them sing the preamble of the Constitution.
Then we connected to http://legocamera.marshall.edu

Build for 12 minutes the compare.
What improvements can be made?

Redesign.

I thought this would be a good project to practice checking inventory at put away time 
because they would be aware of how many of the little connectors there are 
and notice how easy it is to put the red beams in the right places.



The best part turned out to be how much math they did.

 

We connected to Red Rover and SENSORS City and the camera 
at Marshall University LEGO City.
