Blasts From the Past

Does anybody still remember when it used to be nothing but beams?

Some rules of the day: minimum weight of bridge was set at 100 lbs., minimum deflection was set at 1.0", the first year a barge was assigned that could work in the river, people were constructing at insane speeds, beams had to have serious style to set themselves apart, and Sac State still had the hippy and the fat man running their team for the 6th straight year.

Runs from the 2003 NSSBC at San Diego State University's Cox Arena.

University of Wisconsin, Madison (2nd Place 2K3)

The Badgers had been consistently practicing under 1 minute that year, just missed the NSSBC Championship by about 3 sec. That's how close it was in 2003.
