This was our first real experience with the design process. Me and my partner went through the steps very fluently and did not experience many difficulty on the way. The one thing we did underestimate, however, was the amount of ideas we needed to come up with. We had to chose from four ideas, and took a lot of time doing so.When we but the final design we had to deal another problem. The bridge was not heavy enough to the sides, so it sagged in the middle. Our only solution was to shorten the bridge. We eventually placed 4th in the class (14 in long) with our interlocking paper system.
