Mutated worm

The life of a worm

* The interaction happens if a user shines a light on the worm. 

* The worm will move away avoiding the light. 

* A 3D worm, the slightly pointy end of the earthworm is the head where the mouth and the light sensor are. 

* The body of an earthworm consists of segments that look like rings and it helps the worm to bend and curl its body. * The body of earthworm is elastic and stretchable. 

* When it moves, the body gets longer and shorter because of the stretching movement. 

* Body stretch : experiment on spring and rubber materials.

* Suggestion from Eng Tat :

- Think about the size, the worm will be controlled using arduino, which makes the worm a giant worm because the arduino has to fit inside.

- Rather than just using 1 LDR, try using at least 2 or 4 LDRs to give more interaction to the work (direction of light).

* To 'Do' :

- Look for small motors.

- Trying out the circuit.

- Build the object.
