wooden bridges broken..well, not one or two

dang that was fun. well, fun is relative but we were "working".

most of us had our student interns work on the bridges. us adults had to work (green font)

they were crazily put together. w some you could still smell the glue.

nothing took less than 100lbs. one crossed into 300. it was sick. it looked feeble, but it held.

mine? janky looking, but strong. "Lennie" was unbreakable. the hardware used to pull on the bridges failed first. hahah..

one standout. a young engineer told her son about out contest and he wanted to help. the two of them built a bridge that was epic. something DiVinci would have built with Di-Jr. she wouldn't let take it to failure. it got to 150lbs and she waved us off. haha..this engineer is still on probation and will go far. !!

pics next
