Bridge Constructed!

Got the two parts of the bridge constructed from the aforementioned materials. They ended up looking pretty symmetrical as they had the same dimensions and construction and they also seemed pretty strong as wood glue was used for all the joints. Here's a pic:

Materials and Design

So far we have decided to build a simple truss bridge with cardboard, glue, and Popsicle sticks. We will most likely use laser cutting and or 3D printing for the motor assembly which will connect on to the bridges themselves.

Decision Of Project

Hey Guys,
So our group decided we wanted to do something practical and simple as well as fun. After extensive conversation and brainstorming we decided we would work on making a drawbridge. Our early idea is to make a simple to part bridge that can be raised or lowered to allow for traffic to go underneath. More info to come.

First Post!

Our group name is the Three Musketeers! Not because were noble in any way were just college students thinking of a group name two days after Halloween. Fill in the dots. Our group at the moment is thinking of designing and building a moving vehicle for land as that seems like a cool project.  A couple videos we found interesting from other projects are below. They displayed interesting ideas involving the arduino board as well as its sensors.
