This week we started to use k-nex in the lab. In a short amount of time we figured out how to work with them and started building our own bridge. In the end of the lab my lab mate Skip was able to make a bridge which was not a very complicated design and it was really strong. We didn't had any problems this week as a group. Each one of us individually is designing bridges in West Point Bridge Design so that when we can start building our own bridge we will have a lot of ideas and we might have figured out a lot of things about bridges until then which might help us to save time.
I think that there are a lot of similarities between the West Point Bridge Design program and the K-nex. The only difference is that in West Point Bridge designer we can work faster and can calculate the cost really fast. On the other hand West Point Bridge Design shows how much the bridge can hold, something that using K-nex we can't do because it takes a lot of time. Personally I think that we should work a lot more with West Point Bridge Design than K-nex.
