UPDATE FIFTEEN: Record Times!!

Our team has been working diligently for hours every week trying to narrow down our competition time. Gloves with gorilla grips have been purchased and the team has been treating each trial run as a competition run. Time begins when the nuts, bolts, and tools are picked up from the staging area. After assembling both sides, attaching the lateral bracing, and tightening all of the bolts, the team averaged a time of 9 min 05 seconds! Well under our 10 minute goal! The “A-Team” is looking forward to Saturday and is ready to give competing schools a run for their money!

UPDATE FOURTEEN: Logo!

As the competition is quickly approaching, the team had to add one final touch to the bridge in order for it to be considered “complete.” Attached is a picture of our new logo cut by the water-jet machine in our local machine shop. Stephen took charge of this logo and created the outline for it on AutoCAD.
