11 Inchworm

If you can count on only one thing, it would be a ruler. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not talking about supreme despots for life or anything of that sort. The rulers I’m referring to are the measuring kind. How can you not count on something with so many sequential numbers? That’s why when deciding on the armature for Inchworm Bot, the only thing I could think of was my good, dependable friend, the ruler. After all, “inch” is part of its name, and rulers are covered in inches. In addition, aluminum rulers make great robot parts. Not only are they structurally sound, they’re also easy to cut, drill, and bend. Make your own Inchworm Bot to see for yourself.
