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. For more information... Don't forget to check out Bill Bigge's Electric Pets, as well as Ian Bernstein's various BEAM bugs.
