I don't think any of the toothpicks I chewed on in the bar ever could have held that much.

I wonder what that bridge tastes like?

[cosiweb]

I don't think any of the toothpick bridges I ever built in school held that much...maybe it's a good thing I left engineering and ended up in computers ;)

[videochick770]

: )) i have been checking some of the bridge videos on youtube...i would say this one is in the midrange achievement-wise.

[videochick770]

[DrZarkloff]

Tooth picks are stronger than I'd have given credit. 295 lbs. if I calculated right.

[videochick770]

they said it at the end...285 i think.

That was a real nail biter Kathy.

[videochick770]

pretty cool huh? some of these bridges could hold a person's body weight.

[massaar6]

totally did this but was only allowed popcicle sticks.. plus some width and height restrictions lol! it was grade 6 though :P

lol making a car only powered by a moustrap and needing it to go far was the most random fun one :P

[videochick770]

interesting. there probably were some size restrictions here. there was a set span for testing.
