Ryerson Bridge Building Competition 2008

Here's a video from last year's popsicle bridge competition held at Ryerson University. My team, the I-beamers, won the competition with an ultimate load of 588kg on a 1.2kg bridge.

The result of this competition qualified us for the Canadian national competition at Concordia University, Montreal where we placed 3rd.

In two weeks, my team will defend our title in the 2009 Ryerson competition. My bridge design for 2009 is based on last year's design but with vast improvements. I'm hoping it will hold over 1000kg.
