Squirmers
They sit and do something interesting, and the bot moves all or part of its "body" around in some way



Squirmers are desk-bound robots that move all or part of their bodies around for your entertainment. I've divided Squirmers into 4 sub-categories:

Magbots -- these use electromagnetic fields to move themselves around (this can also include critters that use multimeter movements to move wings).

Flagwavers -- these use a motor to spin a flag or a selection of pictures around periodically

Heads

Misc. -- Squirmers that don't cleanly fit into one of the other three sub-categories.
