West Point Bridge Designer update

Parker got fifth place in the West Point Bridge Designer program. I failed to explained what this was. Parker got to build a bridge on the computer. The program stated whether it worked or not when a truck goes over it. If it works you are supposed to make the price of the bridge as low as you can but still have it work. If the truck crashes you try and make it work. The lowest priced bridge wins. You can use three materials: carbon steel, quenched and tempered steel or high strength low alloy steel. You can change the size of each of the tubes supporting the bridge from 30 mm to 500 mm. You can make the tubes hollow or solid. It started out with 647 teams and the top ten get to compete at UCF. Parker was 7th in the top ten, and when they competed against each other he got 5th. Good job Parker!!!!!
