We built a bridge out of spaghetti today, this was to show us the value of experimenting with ideas and concepts. We went through a few stages of thought to make it, originally simply having two lines of spaghetti across the gap, we then added supportive frames to the design, adding a connection from the bottom and using our plasticine to better hold these supports. Our ideas weren't particularly innovative in comparison to some of the bridges but we felt proud of our design nonetheless. In the weighing contest our bridge was able to hold about 4-5 battery packs showing that it was much more stable than we had anticipated. It came in a close second to the other team’s design.
