The Sliding Ladybird moves via vibrations from a motor that spins a plate with an off-centre weight. This spinning weight generates a rapid up-down vibrating movement that propells the ladybird forwards. You can alter the ladybird’s speed and direction by changing the orientation of the front leg rod. Bending the front leg to the right will cause the ladybird to curve to the left as it moves, while bending the front leg to the left will cause the ladybird to curve to the right. Bending the front leg inward will slow down the ladybird’s movement.
