The Extendo-Arm is useful to anyone needing to extend their grasp, letting you easily extend your arm, you can have a fully-flexible hand at a greater distance. The Extendo-Arm can be used in a variety of places, but most importantly when mobility and reach is limited, using only three fingers to control six, making a very flexible and versatile hand.

Thesis Statement

World

Ability

Scenario

We were largely focused on the need to move around, thinking about long distance travel, and extended capabilities when it comes to motion. This had us thinking about extra limbs and other body extensions.

We started with thinking about enhancements that would help us maneuver different landscapes. We talked about things that would help us navigate a low gravity world, an upside-down world, or a world with different chunks of land.

The animal abilities we where inspired by were climbing, spider limbs, and a frogs tongue, as well as the tentacles of an octopus, and the movement of a jellyfish.
