The goal of this module is to create the most cost effective, useful bridge using Knex which spans a distance of two feet. In order to accomplish this, many designs and prototypes had to be used. In this case, we have just began the transition from WPBD to using Knex, and it is very difficult. First of all, we are very limited by the cost and amount pieces/connectors we have to work with. To overcome these obstacles, we have worked hard as a team to create designs which will work. For this A2 design, I have drawn up a simple prototype which I believe could be cheap and strong.
Above is my rough sketches of my design. Basically, it is a simple truss bridge which elevate to an even high sections of trusses at the top. I believe this will add stability as well as good support for the weight apparatus. The only issue now is the price.
Above is the projected price of my bridge. Although I have not actually put together my idea, I am almost positive this will increase as I find mistakes in my design.
