Bridge Design

This is the design of our bridge from Autocad.

Here is the .dwg CAD file if you want to take a closer look at it. Bridge.dwg (This is a large file. Beware!)

The bridge tackles many problems really efficiently. We have used simple Lego-like clip on pieces to help us make our connections faster during the competition. Also using a triangle like cross-sectional design allows us to not sacrifice on strength.

So far with our practices we really feel the advantages to these design ideas.
