The drill at the front pushes it away from the nose, and the drill at the rear pushes it behind the worm, effectively filling the hole back up. Some sludge will be pushed out the hole. I'm researching BEAM trying to get a handle on everything I need, in what spare time I have. I saw that Honeybee is also making an inchworm for repairing pipes for Manhattan, Little Italy. Interesting gizmo. It was adapted from their proposed Mars Inchworm.

Lots Cad Renderings mixed in with real photos. The only problem I see in the design is how to get rid of the excess materials from drilling. I don't see a clear path from the nose to the tail.
