Introduction

As we saw earlier with Oribotics, materials that fold, bend or compress can change a robots capabilities. For this lab, you are going to make your own "metamaterial" out of ordinary paper. Miura-ori is a tessellation pattern that compresses and preserves its shape. When deformities are introduced, these can either strength or weaken the material under certain types of compression.
