New record!

This is a photo of a simple test of our bridge design that supported over 2800 grams! The bridge's weight was 10 grams. In this example, the soda can was filled with BB's, making the test extremely accurate. However, the can could only hold about 2000 grams so reduced the BB's in the can and added the spoons, then resumed adding the BB's until it snapped.
