The project challenged us to design, find materials for, and fabricate an intricate device within one month. The final product is the result of approximately 12 hours and 45 minutes of hard work.

My teammate and I researched the linkages and proportions that allow a strandbeest to walk when its cam shaft is rotated. Then, we designed a creature around those linkages.

I managed the team's time allocation, operated a laser-cutter and a 3D-printer, and contributed heavily to the assemblage of this project.
