Earthworm Magnetobot by Ravinder Dahiya, Prakash Karipoth, Adamos Christou, and Abhilash Pullanchiyodan (2021), University of Glasgow. Designed to demonstrate an ultra-stretchy strain sensor based on graphite paste, the Magnetobots are operated like puppets. Two permanent magnets mounted on linear actuators out of sight, move the head and tail of the robot. As the head moves forward the earthworm robot stretches and the sensor resistance increases. When the resistance reaches an upper threshold it stops and the magnet at the tail moves forward to catch up, shrinking it again. When the resistance reaches a lower threshold, the tail stops and the magnet at the head continues its advance, closing the feedback cycle.

ID: on a charcoal-textured white background, a digital cartoon-style drawing of a grandfather clock with a sloping-roof top, a clock face with no hands and an omega at its centre, and a glass pane revealing a scythe-like pendulum with a loud ‘tock’. at the bottom of the clock is another pane with the words ‘too late’. it is dated 28-30 July 2021.

caption from the day i finished and posted this on instagram:
any inaccuracies are because this clock exists outside the landscape of reality. (except the omega is actually on the door-knocker. that is artistic license.)
as seen in the home of the Death of the Discworld, because although he *is* an anthropomorphic personification he does need somewhere to liv—well, to stay.
i made a good amount of Bad Art today, outside of the Bad Work. i am happy (ish).
