Elevated Bridge B/C

[andrewwski]

Heh...I can agree with that.

I haven't gotten past the design stage of any bridge yet, but I should.

What's everyone's opinions on designs? I'm leaning toward a traditional bridge on pillars...to start with anyway. Gotta start somewhere.

im right now designing like CRAZY i cant seem to make a design that conects the legs of the bridge to main part they right now are just two separate peices oh well.... Aia you're on your 8th bridge? Thats insane you must be getting some good scores.

So far, I've come up with two unique designs for bridges that seem to be working well. After all my testing, I'm guessing scores should go into the 2000 range (for C division) at least. However, it's early in the season, so this range might appear completely wrong after I test a few more. It's hard to get a feel for what scores will be like at this point in time.

ummmm wow though scores are up there... wow

[Aia]

Actually, I'm interested to see how the Div B scores compare to Div C. Although Div B has easier specs and should have higher efficiencies, Div C scores might be higher because some of the builders have had years and years or experience. It's tough to say.

I'd say that these scores will be pretty similar to boomilever scores but maybe a little lower.

[andrewwski]

Really? I was thinking higher. But then again I haven't built any, so I don't really know.

I gotta get out and get some wood soon, my supply from last year is about depleted (only the bad pieces are left).

[Aia]

Hey Valpo, are you building bridges this year?

[dudeincolorado]

really? boomli scores seem pretty low to me (compared with the other balsa events) if built right it seems to be a lot easyer to get a higher score.

ewww i know right all i have left are some spongy peices and you can literally make them 1/4x1/4 to 1/8x1/8 just be squeezing them

Yeah Aia, I'll be building this year for sure. This is my last year though.
