Longest Self-Sustaining Bridge
The Challenge
Create a bridge that can span the largest distance using only Keva Planks. The groups' longest distances on each team (red and gold) will be averaged (each team will need to build at least two bridges). Points will be given to each team based on their span average.
The Process
- In your tablet, create an antotated drawing of what your ideas are for the base and make a list of anticipated issues that might come up.
- In a group of four, discuss your ideas and decide your starting point.
- In your group, build your design. When you are ready, call over a judge to measure the span.
- Iterate. Time to increase your distance. Discuss as a group your next strategy.
- Rebuild. Remeasure.
Measuring
The distance will be measured between the two closest points between the bridges bases in centimeters.
