don’t, they will break off.

This is a real engineering project (not a toy). What does that mean? You get to design and build
your own unique Wiggle-Bot, rather than just following directions. You’ll also get to cut, wire and
maybe even pound. Experiment and try different ideas. Keep improving and changing your designs.
