Disel - Week 6 Blog Entry

This week we worked on two bridges using knex. Skip and Jonathan worked on a design which was really strong and simple. I tried to do the same thing in but in a more complicated way. I used knex long bars in the middle of the bridge in order to make it stronger. Analysing the results the bridges seems really strong and not that expensive so we are gonna use them for our final design.

About the similarities and differences between the Knex and WPBD I would say that when we use Knex we work in reality (3d) so we can put things inside the bridge like I did putting long bars in the middle. In WPBD I cannot do that because when I do that it automatically is copied in 2 sides of the bridge. But on the other hand at WPBD we can use different bars in weight and length while in Knex this is limited.
