Weighing the sand our bridge could hold. The bridge supported 5536 grams of sand and bucket weight. Divided by the bridge's weight, the efficiency came to 361.8.

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Bridge building, day 4

Today we had to replace some tubes due to a cutting mishap. We were able to redo them quickly and we then moved onto gluing the trusses. We tried to pull the 2 mm strips taught for as much tension as possible. The trusses seem a bit wobbly, but will hopefully be steadied when the entire bridge has been put together.

Constructing trusses!

Bridge Building, day 2

We spent today cutting out trusses and gluing tubes for our bridge. Having cut out the tubes yesterday, I measured and drew lines one centimeter apart, with a six millimeter flap on the end. I folded on theses lines, making sharp creases with my pen. Jordan traced and cut out many trusses, and then carefully glued the tubes I was folding. I forgot to take any pictures of the process, but I'll definitely do that tomorrow. The Pwnage Bridge is on its way.
