Type in your ideas below:

Part 1: Establish a testing procedure

1. Group tapped the unmodified sturcture model to see probable sway/tip/shift 2. Discussed possible solutions 3. Using expensive materials tested for stability. 4 popcicle sticks (perpendicular) 2 thick elastic bands 4 Again tested for stability, some design defects concerning materials and costs

Part 2: Design, Test and Reiterate 6 Discussion as to how to bring down costs and increase stabillity 7 Added surface area to the base, stabilized the base creating a floating base (using 2 popcicle sticks,2 paper clips, 2 index cards. Total cost $380.00 Safety first
