Funicular design Document this joinery technique with a technical drawing.

funicular geometry = 6 modules; 1 module = 8 sticks (300mm length) dimensions = 1000 mm x 750 mm; total of 6 modules (x8) = 48 sticks

Final Outcome

Option one(model 3):

Weaknesses Modules slide down without glue when stacked Requires too many modules and sticks Improvements Create an interlocking joint system Place the modules in a vertical position instead of horizontal

Option two(model 4):

Weaknesses Robot continuously drops stick Semicircle instead of a funicular arch Ground connection is not fully realized Improvements Place a point so the robot avoids hitting itself Pull joints a bit further apart to create the funicular geometry Design feet modules to make a more sturdy base in the future
