-Octopi have 8 arms that move and bend in any which way.

-Octopi have strong suction cups on their arm that help them grab prey.

-Octopi will grab the prey and then close them into their mouth like a net.

-Octopi are grey, brown, pink, blue, or green to blend in with their surroundings

-They are an invertebrate

Most octopuses stay along the ocean's floor, although some species are pelagic, which means they live near the water's surface. Other octopus species live in deep, dark waters, rising from below at dawn and dusk to search for food. Crabs, shrimps, and lobsters rank among their favorite foods, though some can attack larger prey, like sharks. Octopuses typically drop down on their prey from above and, using powerful suctions that line their arms, pull the animal into their mouth. The octopus performs its famous backward swim by blasting water through a muscular tube on the body called a siphon. Octopuses also crawl along the ocean's floor, tucking their arms into small openings to search for food. Seals, whales, and large fish prey on octopuses.

If threatened, octopuses shoot an inky fluid that darkens the water, confusing the aggressor. The octopus can also change to gray, brown, pink, blue, or green to blend in with its surroundings. Octopuses may also change color as a way to communicate with other octopuses. Octopuses are solitary creatures that live alone in dens built from rocks, which the octopus moves into place using its powerful arms. Octopuses sometimes even fashion a rock "door" for their den that pulls closed when the octopus is safely inside.

Octopuses are sea animals famous for their rounded bodies, bulging eyes, and eight long arms. They live in all the world's oceans but are especially abundant in warm, tropical waters. Octopuses, like their cousin, the squid, are often considered "monsters of the deep," though some species, or types, occupy relatively shallow waters.

-When looking for a problem in the world that needed help, I found that in myself.

-I choose the problem of being short and reaching things off of high shelves.

# data[].attributes.body
-First I started with the basic design.

-I then decided that in order for this contraption to be better and use more adaptations it needed to work better.

-I started by adding a third arm. This arm would be straight like the others with a third suction cup. (1st adaptation used- arm with suction cup)

-This would not work any better then the original.

# data[].attributes.body
-I next started with the first design and choose to add finger like grabbers (adaptation 2 used- long bendable arms).

-This proved to be a little better at grabbing but still had its problems of dropping and breaking things like the original design.

# data[].attributes.body
-After looking at the second design I decided to take this and add to it.

-The bendable fingers allow for a better grab.

-The suction cups allow for a better hold.

-However, the whole design would still lead to some dropping. The items might not suction well or they may be to slippery for the contraption, even with three arms.

This lead to my final prototype.

-The final prototype will use both the adaptation of the suction cups and the bendable arms and add a catch all net. This will be like the Octopi in the way of holding its food in order to consume it.

# data[].attributes.body
-I found that there was an apparatus that uses one of the Octopi adaptations.

-They used the suction cup portion.

-This got me to thinking how we could take this reacher one step closer.

-I have seen this apparatus used and it does not work well when pulling food or glasses from high shelves.

To be sure the Reach All Catch All will be made of lightweight metal materials with strong elastic in the bendable fingers. This will allow for the product to be durable and lightweight. The net will be made of the paracord in order to hold up and not rip when something falls down into it. The suction cups will be made using factory grade suction in order to grasp onto materials better.
