|  Micro crawler fun in the living room
I took three old spray-foam cans that didn't work because the nozzel was broken off and puntured a hole in the can with the sharp end of a small file and a hammer.. Waaa laa a perfect crawler course.. Enjoy,        |

Looks great! Are the push pins some sort of informal slalom? You've even got your own pit of snakes! |

I'll try to get some video up of us crawling on it.. Even if you get new cans of foam I would puncture a hole in the can and spray it that way. You can see one can did work and thats what produced the "snake Pit". The Moab ish areas were all with the punctured cans.

Yes thats the stuff. I didn't use the big Gap but I'm sure it would work maybe even better.. Here is a video on the foam  |

Never thought about punching a hole in the top,I have 3 large cans that I mistakenly stopped while using to answer the phone or whatever and come back to a solid plugged nozzle,how do you punch the hole without it spraying everywhere?If you took the spray gritty paint that may give you better grip,but over all iI really like the idea.

I punched the hole in the thin sidewall down by the bottom with the sharp end of a small chisel and a hammer. It didn't spray until I took the file out of the hole so not to much mess. When it comes out its in one stream and starts to expand rapidly.
