Bridge Building

How did I think of the design?

I originally built the bridge with hot glue and a similar structure. My original design had the same sides, but I made four of those and connected it to form a cuboid-like shape. 

I tested it out by pushing the top and it collapsed so I used a similar design but built it as a triangle and used more reinforcements on the base to make to stronger. 

This time, I hung a dumbbell on it, increasing the weight bit by bit. Since two dumbbells could not fit together, I placed the bridge on a higher platform and placed the dumbbells in my bag to hang my bag on the bridge.

I am planning to check out some of the bridges in Singapore for inspirations on how to improve my bridge.
