Breezy's+Bridge

Making the model bridges was tedious and annoying. It took a lot of patience, and I'm more of a hurry up get it right and move on type of worker. I did not enjoy making the bridges at all. I had some major set backs building my bridge. Once half my bridge blew away in the wind. Another time I made two of the wrong support, and had to rebuild them. It was not fun at all. It was a good learning experience of working with a plan and building off of it, but I often found myself tweaking small things about my bridge as time went on, like the floor of the bridge. I had to rebuild that, because it wasn't the right specifications. I think if we all had a hand out at the very beginning of the official bridge rules, it would have been easier to build off of. My bridge did okay in the whole competition, I suppose. It broke on the sides, which was my own fault. I made those last and didn't think that that had to be made as well as the support system, but it does. If I would have made sure to glue and secure the bridge sides just a bit more it would have withstand a lot more stress. Overall this experience was a good learning opportunity, but the things I would do differently would be to hand out the official rules to everyone, have a more secure way of transferring my bridge, and to make sure all of my bridge is secured.
