week5-xue bai


     Last week in class we listened a speech about how to find use information about our bridge design. Mr. Jay Bhatt come and shows some useful book that we could look at. I also got to know that our library have a lot of useful thing I can look at to improve my knowledge of bridge. Then we learn about the basic rule about the k’nex bridge design. like how long should it be and how to find out how many weight it can keep with out break it. The cost of the bridge is also a big part we get look at the sheet of the cost of each part. The last part of class we get a change to play with the K’nex.
     Next class we would really start built our own bridge. We would try to finish the bridge in class. Try to find the best bridge with can hold more weight and cost less.
     The k’nex is different from the WPBD by many ways. The k’nex did allow you to changer any of the size of the bridge. You have only one size over all. Also the really K’nex bridge did allow you to text it over and over to get a best type. The WPBD would tell you which part is weak and need to improve, but K’nex will not. K’nex is more really, it is a really thing than just a program. It also made it harder because it is really not ideally any more. You need to think more carefully of every peace. There would be a lot of unexpected problem appear, but I am ready to handle it.
