most notably this has led to the Scuttlebug / Clockbug which looks like this and I have delivered as a project to over 500 students and their Teachers / TA's in the past three years.
But recently I have started experimenting with springy wire and other bits and I am now in the fourth idea and starting to fine tune the materials and make sure it is a bullet proof project.This image was created in Sketchup... of course!

The first three versions were complete failures, hopefully this will be better...
