Problem Statement
To build a simple and easy Prototype Strand Beest out of House hold material. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS_Yc6r5aBY Going to build same prototype strand beest with cheaper materials.

Designing the Implementation Process
Project should be as easy and simple because of that the instrument like, pencil, hole grinder and specially cardboard were obvious.

Work flow
After checking out the video on YouTube of strand beest leg movement and its sketch, there comes the starting point of the project. After that the measurement of Acute(small) triangle, two Obtuse(large) Triangle were taken on a cardboard and there comes the cutting job of two small triangle(2 per triangle)plus four small stick and two of them connects to the Acute and other two on the Obtuse triangle(same construction applies on the other side). Then after four big stick were made, all four of them connects right on top of each triangle.

Test, Verification, Validation, and Certification
To testing it is pretty simple. Is all part working(moving) properly.

Quality
The Strand beast was't went that well. The reason is it's not well enough because it made by string.

Possible implementation process improvements
The weakest part of the project is links that are conjoint by thread. Instead of string if a metal screw, nut/bolt, and were used the project would be more efficient.

Next Steps
The next step would be some kind of amelioration to the strand beest by using hard materials such as fiber or metal instead of cardboard, and instead of string using screw nut/bolt, rivet. Using this materials would definitely make the project work way better.
