Bridge Challenge!

triangles balance the universe

Our first prototype was basically the same design. But we made a couple changes.

1) Made the height of the triangles smaller

2) Used more triangles for more support, and stability. We noticed that the taller we made the triangles, the more it leaned to the side, so we fixed that by shortening the height of the bridge.

this triangle was made from 51.6 grams of wood and glue and held 700batteries 20 pounds (9071.85 grams)

This makes the strength to weight ratio about 176:1

The string broke. The triangle succeeded, and does its natural wonders again.

the bridge of distance

when steps are made in the mind. one step at a time.
