Re: Elevated Bridge B/C
well thats obvious but like the rules say that you can't use certain types of wood and glue so I was wondering if like there was anything special to use that would give you an edge like make your bridge lighter or stronger if you use this glue or this wood in a certain way

Re: Elevated Bridge B/C
Well, it mostly depends on your design. (the way you "put your bridge together") You could also laminate your wood and use strong glue. I recommend wood glue because if you use superglue, the joints are more breakable.

Re: Elevated Bridge B/C
And that's why there's only one winner.
But it's still possible to design a GOOD bridge.
