## Method
Following a [design review](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/falcone/structural_robotics/tree/master/1_DESIGN_REVIEW) of several methods a [zipped approach](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/falcone/structural_robotics/tree/master/2_THE_ZIPPED_SYSTEM) is selected and developed further towards these goals. This system allows isotropic strands of assembled pieces to lock together to form rigid structures.

Strands may move independently or upon pre-existing structures.

The pieces can also assemble to make actuated motion, opening the door to assembled versus pre-fabricated soft robotics.
