Notes

We came up with the idea to cross the 2 pieces of wood to create a stable structure. We
looked at pictures online to see the different ways to build a crane, and found a couple
of options.
Another Idea is to make a triangle so that it will put the weight on different points, or
build a structure similar to the bridge structures because they would be sturdier.
