78kg


Heinz... As you may know maybe you may not know... I had a project... It aim is to build a bridge that can sustain 100kilogram... But there's a catch, it can only be build with paper and glue... Normal newspaper... Not the kind that used by The Edge or magazine.

Well, we done it... I mean we managed to build the bridge. But after testing it, our bridge did not sustain 100kg. The maximum that it can take is 78kg.

Hmm... I don't know whether it is good enough (most probably not).

There were several bridge from other groups that exceeded 100kg though. Wonder how they did it.

But anyway, after analysing our bridge, we concluded that the bridge we build had no problem sustaining more than 100kg. It failed because of a joint. We didn't manage to connect the joint properly, that result in the tear of the surface of the paper thus failure of the bridge.

Overall, it's fun doing the project. We laughed, suffered,had our both hands, neck and back sored when we called it the day.

I don't regret doing the project, it's fun.
