design was less than 100% successful because our measurements were inaccurate. If we redo our design we could make the base with the straws‚ and cup (which was 21 cm long) 6 to 7 cm longer. We could also fix the slide (which was 36 cm in total) by making it 6 to 7 cm longer as well. Our bridge needed a stronger base because it kept falling side to side. So we can put a couple more straws to each side of the cups and tape them all together. I am certain that if we redo our bridge we can succeed.
