What if the tip never touches the surface? Need to have it give up at some point.

Phase 0 is to lift up the tip and use the three segments at the tip to form those two 90° angles. Phase 1 is to reach toward the surface until the tip collides. Phase 3 is to detach the segments on the left and attach the segments on the right.

Here’s an animation for the detaching. image

Looks okay but you can definitely see that last segment growing and shrinking. It’s really noticeable now because that part of the tentacle is stationary. Maybe it’ll look better when the segments are in the attach animation.
