Although we would have liked to make our bridge more secure (particularly our base), we did not have enough material to make our two stands wide enough. We would have also liked to minimize our resources and use less glue overall. Furthermore, we felt like we did not have enough planks as compared to the rods and we would have gladly traded many of our rods for our planks. On Thursday, had we not used more than half the glue already and had more planks, we would have been able to widen our base and prevent it from falling over.
