Re: Overpass rigidity?

We built an overpass out of PVC to test designs. As Kim said, PVC is cheaper and easier to assemble. We found out that the design isn't as stable or rigid as aluminum or steel, but we mad due. All you would have to do is have two people hold the "legs" of the overpass. When thrown or placed on the overpass, the trackball does cause it to move slightly, which won't happen during an actual competition. That's just something that we will have to take into account.
