=Steps to making a Popsicle stick crane for a class project=

Getting Started

 * We are limited to 200 Popsicle sticks for starters.
 * Our deadline is May 5th.
 * Each of us are given a small electric motor.
 * The Motor is powered by a single 6 volt battery.

Ideas to ponder on

 * How can we make an efficient crane holding a certain amount of weight preferably higher than other groups

Brainstorming

 * We have to support the bottom of it
 * To make the arm we will have to cross brace it
 * Most Popsicle sticks will go into making the arm
 * We can use tresses to strengthen the arm

Our idea
We will use a model similar to the one below, just composed entirely of Popsicle sticks since we are limited to 200 we seeked out a design that would require as little materials as possible but still have a strong outcome as a crane These are our current Ideas.
