Tooth picks & structure • Our group began this project by creating a tooth pick model of a truss bridge • The model was able to give us some back ground of how bridges are made as well as what can be created to support them.
Simulation, calculations & models • After creating our tooth pic models we were able to create a simulation of the bridge on a program from the computer called west point bride design. • From there we were then able to start our calculations from the deign that followed the specification and requirements.
Production activity • We accidently made an error in our calculations therefore we were unable to work with the architecture kids because we had to recreate our bridge design. • Once we recalculated we began construction on the bridge and began on the vex car
Fun with Robotics • Our groups vex car did not follow ever detail with in the manual. • We did not include gears with in the structure of the car and we used 4 motors to give the car more power
Project placement ( Roles ) • Each member in the group was able to contribute in the production of the bridge. • Savannah: Web page design/ Power point • Mike & V : Bridge design consultants/ Constructors • John & Nick: Vex car constructors
Challenges faced & successful rewards • The use of glue sticks • Making sure that our bridges structure is secure. • Our bridge was able withstand the car and 3 bricks going across.
Improvements needed • Make sure to recheck calculations. • Glue management • Be more mindful of your handle on the bridge.
Views for the future • Knowing what we know now we would be more precise in the calculation, management and distribution of GLUE.
