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

Requirements for each element or component derived from system level goals and requirements
Requirements: Washer must be thin and smooth/slippery to create the least friction as possible between the components of the joints (i.e. particle board and PVC piping).

Alternatives in design
Alternative: Using Mylar as washers for strandbeest joints.

The initial design
Initial design: To use cut up cans as washers.

Experiment prototypes and tests need for design
Experiment prototype: Mylar washer.

Next Steps
Create more mylar washers with specific dimensions to test on the big strandbeest joints.
