4'' silicone fish wiggling on the floor

Hi!

I’m making a 4’’ to 6’’ silicone fish with motors inside so it can wiggle on the floor like it’s suffocating. I’d like to know what I need, I’m very new to robotics so I’m kinda lost. It can’t have any wires so it needs to have a battery and motors with enough torque to make it wiggle and jump from the floor a little bit and of course a on/off button. A speed regulator would be very nice too.

Thank you so much!

Hi @AntonFX and welcome to our forum.

This sounds like an interesting project but I think mechanics are very important here.

Do you already have maybe some 3D models for this design?

I saw some similar projects online:
