My first plan failed so I thought what better to do than make a Derp-snake. I'll update the post later with video (maybe), but instead for now I'll walk through the building of my Derp-snake.
I started out drawing a template and cutting it out.
I folded up each of my cutouts.
Each of the cutouts would compose a derp-link in my derp-snake
I then realized I had to include a motor somewhere and decided to stick it in the head of the derp-snake. A wheel sticks out the bottom to provide propulsion. Oh yeah and the whole thing is made of Honey-Nut Cheerio boxes.
Here's a close up of the wheel out of the bottom of the head.
I hooked up all the links by carefully threading elastics through the links. Magically the links were coated in wax paper. By this point several hours have been put into the derp snake.
And finally after hours of testing the Derp-snake was complete (except for it's elastic tongue taped to it's forehead).
Unfortunately I've yet to take video, but this thing zips along tiled floors pretty good.
