Re: Junkyard Challenge B
I just edited the wiki for this year check it out and tell me what you think. How do I put in a table of contents. I am not quite finished yet.
What materials have you been using I want to see what I need to do differently.

Re: Junkyard Challenge B
um... I am not saying that you are wrong but are you sure you got a cantilever to go 49cm out? And if so, what did you use for the lever, or thing that hangs off?

Re: Junkyard Challenge B
Your tower should be taller than that. It is very short in comparrison with your other structures. how did you make you cantilever and bridge so long.?

Re: Junkyard Challenge B
our groups tower, bridge, and cantaliver are all built the same way. i promised my group that i would not revile how we built them. we used duct tape as a counterweight, is that allowed?

Most are prabably built the same/similar technique.disownedpear wrote:our groups tower, bridge, and cantaliver are all built the same way.
There is no rule against it. Will you have enough left for a counter weight when you structures get big enough. We just use all of our extra supplies.disownedpear wrote:i promised my group that i would not revile how we built them. we used duct tape as a counterweight, is that allowed?

Re: Junkyard Challenge B
This is my first year of competing and i was wondering if any of the veterans had any advice. My partner isn's doing much , so I'm doing most of the work. Please and thank you
