This idea is similar to Idea #86, Moving Sculpture. It is an object that changes its shape. But this time it is not meant as art, but as a structurally functioning object.

Have you ever seen those magnet toys that have beams and spheres? People use that to make molecular models. I imagined a toy like that, but where the beam lenghts would be adjustable. Here it would be, for example a, small linear actuator, something that "grows" on command.

So this object would grow in size, or deform itself, as the beam lengths are altered.

This was inspired by Star Trek episode Tin Man, where a chair takes form to allow a character to sit on.
