How do you deal with/solve a torque issue? My bridge design's angled legs (the 'ladder parts') are twisting. They aren't breaking perpendicularly or parallel to the actual compression pieces, but they pieces twist and the truss snaps. I'm not sure what to do for that :/ diagonal x-members between c...

I NEED TO KNOWWWW I'm dying right now.

Yea, sorry, it was about the curved track.

Has anyone got what the topics are this year? Our school is testing very soon and our rules haven't gotten here yet :/

What's changed in the rules? We haven't gotten ours yet and I'm anxious to start
