Problem Statement

 * Figure out a design for part of strandbeest the will move freely and still bare a load.

The Design Process

 * first design a soild frame
 * come up with the movable part that can still support weight
 * think of what will actuate the movable part
 * draw design Project 0.jpg

Problem with Design

 * Two wheels will not work I have to remove one wheel from the design.(/K.I.S.S./)

Next step to do

 * redesign project 0
 * I do not have to redraw project 0 yet because all i am doing is removing one wheel,wheel linkage, and linkage to movable frame.
 * Piece #4 I can make solid with a hole in the middle for mounting and to help keep center frame stationary.
 * Peice #6 has to be made longer inorder to give it more movement.I am going to double the lenghtand see how much movement it has.
 * With great movement the wheel will have to be moved further away.
 * The actuator arm will have to be lenghten and remounted to a different stop on wheel.
 * depending on how much movement the wheel might even have to be made bigger.
