Engineering Challenge--My toothpick bridge!

[dcta1k]

when i was in high school we did something similiar to what im seeing. Our bridges were tested differently. a board was placed on the bridge with weights added on top of board, which made it important to build your bridge as level as possible. my bridge constructed of 250 picks it had to be a minimum of 6 inch long a pick wide an pick tall and only elmers white glue. tht yr i set a record for 1700 pds witout pbreaking bridge

That was a really good bridge.

Pretty sweet bridge, looked very clean. What kind of toothpicks did you use? I had to build a bridge out of round toothpicks and only using wood glue. Could only be a foot long sadly. It held 55lbs atleast! Lol
