CONCEIVING AND ENGINEERING SYSTEMS

Idea
Improve the existing big strandbeest to get it moving smoothly before the next section is added on.

Problem Statement
Find a way to prevent friction in the joints of the strandbeest to get them moving smoother.

Necessary system functions
Functions: Joints must move smoother.

System concepts
Concept: Create "washers" to place in between the joints for less friction.

Trade-offs among concepts
Trade off: Washer can be made out of anything.

Next Steps
Find and test objects as washers to see if there is less friction in the joints.
