bridge project

When we began our brainstorming on our bridge project we began throwing out many ideas of connecting our sections. We through out a few possible ways of connecting our sections and decided on a three pronged “weaving” technique. it allowed us to connect many strips of the paper together in longer thinner segments while still being strong enough to support the weight of the “people”.  

Then after we began our testing and that is how we eliminated our other design options and decided on our final one.

The biggest problem we ran into was the time constraint, which caused us to rush while assembling the bridge and placing the base blocks to close and in the end the bridge came in contact with the table which broke one of the constraints.  i truly believe time was our biggest enemy like in many parts of construction in life.   But if we changed any thing it would have been the block height which could have kept it from touching the table.
