Ophiacodon Description
Echo-Description of toy-- Our toy design is an Ophiacodon( pronunciation Oh-fee-ack-oh-don.) An Ophiacodon is a lizard like dinosaur. The longest this particular species grows is 3 meters long. How Ophiacodon lived and hunted is still a matter of debate today with some claiming that it was a semi aquatic carnivore that fed on fish and amphibians.

When we went to design it, we were confused about what to use for everything. For the body we decided to use the brown colored paper and color on it with colors like browns, greens and reds, we used different crayons and colored pencils to give it texture.

After we carve it we are going to paint it, again using Browns and greens and reads For the legs Brennan has an idea to make them move with the toy. Brennan-Explanations-- This toy would Appeal to 6-10 year olds because of how dinosaurs are mostly one of kids favorite animal because of their designs and body texture and how they sound really makes kids enjoy them. When my partner Echo and I asked younger kids around town most of them would prefer a dinosaur as a project. I rounded up all my knowledge of dinosaurs and we went with the ophicanadon. Echo-Results- At the beginning, we had troubles making our toy move. We first used In the 45 toothed gear with the 75 toothed gear that went pretty fast but it wouldn't go up the ramp. Once we tried to fix it the axle wouldn't go through any of the holes in the frame. Lastly,we decided to use a 45 tooth gear, and a 25 tooth gear driving it. Our fasted time was 2.78. After we added our design it went to 2.71. On the 15 degree ramp it went up
