Second Official Steel Bridge Meeting!

Not bad at all! 10+ people showed up, and they all seem very enthusiastic about the project even after the initial fee. This is good.

We went over the basic basic rules of the competition, and assigned groups to research different bridge components.

We're also looking into other types of bridges besides the trusses normally seen at competition, such as cable stay, suspension, girder, and hybrids of any type. We plan on discussing the pros and cons and feasibilities of other bridge types and configurations of each at next Tuesday's meeting.

We will start the design process with the entire team next Tuesday.

There will be a field trip after next meeting to Alejandro's since noone seems to know what it is.
