Tooth Pick Bridge

Our (Mine and Dylans) Bridge weighed about 11.5 grams which was able to hold 115 batteries which was about a 230:1 ratio. After the repairs and redesign, the bridge weighed about 12.6 grams, and was able to hold 267 batteries which was a 490:1 ratio, meaning our bridge was the winner! I don't have a picture of the redesign, but i added 2 toothpicks on both sides where the strings would be. 1 horizontally, and 1 vertically. These 4 toothpicks, and some reinforcements on the joints made it possible to hold 152 more batteries! If i were to redesign it again, i would reinforce the joints on the end of the bridge to keep it from sagging on the end.
