For this activity, we wanted to see what would happen if we made the same structure but with different joints. In this activity all the joints were fixed and formed a similar triangular prism with cross bracing. The structure was able to hold a lot of weight, I was able to stand on it without it breaking. The system mainly failed due to the cross bracing not being thick enough. It snapped caused the structure to crush. Pressure was also being put onto one corner of the triangle, and therefore it didn't distribute the load universally.
