Has anyone thought of using the "memory wire" to construct worm-like robot?
That is, if we use a pair of wires attached to rings of soft segments, it can
move and turn similar to a worm.

Are the memory wires suitable for this purpose? Of course, hooking up
the control system would be tricky (soft and squishy '11s?)
