West Point contest for the few high-schoolers who post/lurk

[tommy]

For my physics class (I'm a junior in high school for those who don't know me), we are just finishing up making bridges with popsicle sticks and Elmer's glue. We originally designed them for class from the program that West Point uses for their annual contest. We had specific instructions for our class (i.e., must be at least 40cm long, no more than 12cm wide, no more than 200g in mass, etc.), but the west point program has certain aspects such as bridge cost, and other things. If you're bored and wanna mess around, or want to enter your design in the contest (I think it starts in January), you can download the program here:

It's actually pretty fun! (And a free download and free entry into the contest, with some pretty sweet prizes.)

Good luck tommy! Now, if I was just that skilled (or an Engineer and not an English major...) I'd think about entering ;)

(Good luck to anyone else who decides to enter too...)
