Magnet High School competed in the bridge contest at UCC on February 26th, 2003.
+ This is the area where the bridges will compete.
First up: the novice team. They are also the first ever ALL-girl group.
+ A group picture before starting. From the left: Lucy, Christine, Crystal, Faye.
+ The team's mascot: Easy Cheese (made by Nabisco) with the motto: "It'll be alright..."
+ Ahhh...torsion! Please don't break please don't break...
+ Crystal and I are stackin' up the weights.
+ Our bridge, stocked with weights, but still steady as a rock.
+ Noooooo... it has finally collapsed.
+ Look at the disaster area.
+ A post-crash group picture. Oh yea... our bridge held 141 pounds!
It's finally the advanced teams' turn.
+ Cranford's unglued bridges are always the first to go.
+ The bridges of Magnet's two advanced teams are the last ones standing.
+ Advanced A: I-beams are amazing, but double members at the edges would've helped.
+ Advanced B: Extreme torsion! The bridge has become an "S."
+ A shot of Advanced A's bridge a split second before it went kaput.
+ Advanced A's post-crash bridge.
+ Advanced B's post-crash bridge is in two pieces.
The novice team ended up placing 2nd in their division. The A team placed 1st and the B team placed 3rd in the advanced division. Aren't the Magnet bridge builders awesome?
