2.10 Loading plates
Participants are not required to prepare loading plates. The plates are prepared by the host university.
3. Measurement items
3.1 Size of a bridge member
Large bridge members must be checked by the check box, the volume of which is 150mm×150mm×800mm(Fig.2.5). If a bridge member cannot put in the box, a penalty will be given.
3.2 Construction time
Judges measure the construction time and repairing time with a stop watch. The construction time in scoring is a summation of construction time and 150% of repairing time (See also 5.7). The number of repairing constructors must be the same as the construction stage.
3.3 Number of constructors
Less constructors would be an advantage in the score; however, the construction works might be forcibly stopped if the safety was not paid attention to. The maximum number of constructors is limited to 6.
3.3 Bridge weight
Bridge weight is recorded by using four weight scales (Fig.3.1). A summation of the four scales is recorded for scoring. Weight penalty is added to the weight if the size regulation of a bridge member is violated.
