We have spent about three hours looking for potential materials at the local markets to come up with the idea of a lightweight structure.
We got about five different materials to explore and decide which one of them is the one that we are proceeding with. 
So, after many iterations of material juxtapositions, module and unite design we ended up choosing the ‘Fly swatter’ seeing that it has the most potential in all material properties.
We kind of hacked all materials we had and we found out that the ‘Fly swatter’ experiment was the most successful one, using tension and compression concept to put three macro components to create a hyper component.
