TRAC+BRIDGE+BUILDING


 * In our advanced CAD class, our teacher Mr. Bell was instruced on how to instruct the TRAC bridge building competition. When we first started the process we had no idea what we wanted our bridge to look like. We messed around with ideas for about a week and decided to use a very practical tower system that were very strong. Our idea proved to be a good one, we went to the state competition in lansing and won first place. Our bridge held 252 pounds and only weighed 168 grams, with a whopping 69,000% efficiency rating. We learned a lot from our experience with TRAC and MDOT. Below are listed the teams and their names with links to pictures **
