Building an Art Car’s Serpent Tail for Burning Man

MAKE contributor Jeffrey McGrew, of the brilliant design duo (w/ Jillian Northrup) Because We Can, was involved in building part of Jon Sarriugarte/Kyrsten Mate’s serpent art cars for this year’s Burning Man. Jeffrey and Jillian built the amazing Viking ship-inspired tails. Jeffrey has written a great Instructable detailing how they (and a robot) built them.
