Problem Statement
Build a working fin ray out of material found around the house.

The implementation system design:


Straw Fin Ray Diagram

Work flow
Cut the straw into four different lengths. Thread string through each side of the straws. Before and after each straw, tie a knot to prevent the straw from sliding up and down the string. Hold the top straw and tilt it back and forth letting gravity move the fin ray back and forth.

Possible implementation process improvements
The procedures need to be fine tuned with measurements so that others can easily built a fin ray.
