Jitterbug Icosidodecahedron (Tung Ken Lam)

The Jitterbug Unit can be used to create a number of polyhedra which can undergo the jitterbug transformation (devised by Buckminster Fuller) wherein they collapse and fold inside, transforming into a different, smaller polyhedron.

Instructions for folding the unit are available online.
