The Unbreakable Popsicle Stick Bridge

This is my Unbreakable Popsicle Stick Bridge

I made it out of about 500 Popsicle sticks.
It held 196 pounds and didn't break (didn't even bend). I could not test it to the limits as I ran out of weights.

what type of popsicle stick did you use?

[ffarhour]

@revengeofachild I used two types. One was quite wide but not very thick, which I mostly used it for the base. The other one was the normal Popsicle stick of normal popsicles. I bought them though. But they were narrower but thicker, making them stronger.

What program did u use to make the brisge on the computer?

[ffarhour]

@87jazzycheema I used West Point Bridge Designer. It is a freeware mainly used for a bridge designing competition.

How did you attach the bucket to hold the weights to your bridge?

[ffarhour]

@AviLyricSwann I acctually got a bag, and using two ropes I tied the bag to the bottom of the bridge. You might be able to see it towards the end of the video.

@cool2531 actually the only thing I have is my design in West Point Bridge Designer, which is actually shown in the video at 0:07.

@babalucas123 Just like I said in the video, I haven't tested my bridge to the limit ... just sayin'. But otherwise, good job. I'm interested to know how you bridge looked like.
