What i learnt from doing these exercises i then applied in the design and make module when making the legs for my product. originally having just 4 legs attached to the main body, I decided to introduce ties to pull all the legs together, as i had a large compressive force from the main body, the ties prevented the legs from buckling outwards/inwards. If i had not under taken previous research into this subject i would not have used these in my design and as a result my product would have been at a disadvantage.
A s a result of this work i felt i deserved to add another star to this section as i have fulfilled the criteria of 'application of knowledge into work' although i still need further exploration in this subject.
