Flexible tentacle arm test

Testing a simple flexible arm using some cardboard templates, the innards of a biro for the centre support, some plastic tubing for spacers and fishing line to direct the motion. A simple controller was made using 2 pencils taped in a cross shape. The 'arm' was clamped in a vice to keep it in place.
