3DD Making A Bridge

I was given a challenge to create a bridge from just 8 pieces of A1 card and bamboo sticks and celotape, this bridge would have to hold a romote control car that would travel across it. The stucture I created had to hold the car and enable it to travel from one point to another. The distance between each point was about 20 feet long or longer from the staring point to the finishing point. however only two pilllars could touch the floor. This challenge involved me working in a grpoup of 7 people.
The first thing we had to do was sketch different ideas of what structure that we would form. We then narrowed down our different ideas to one that we felt would support the car. The base that would support the car was made out of flat cardboard. Then we decided to create the pillars, to do this we cut the carboard in half to create more to use for the base. We also created bareiers so that the car did not fall off the bridge. Once we finished we noticed that our bridge was slightly slaunted, however we used this to our advantage, to challenge our teacher to get adcoss the bridge successfully. The out come was successful as the car travelled the whole journey and did not fall off and our bridge did not collapse.
