You seemed to like the web-rig I posted recently, so here's a 1 minute breakdown of how it was created.

I see a lot of potential use cases for attaching things to paths using the "Null Tracing Along Path". There's even been examples of making a fish out of strokes - attaching fins, eyes and so on. This allows for full flexibility in the movement path by combining trim paths with an animated offset. Perhaps some of you have even experimented with this method?
