Dude, I loved watching this. I feel like watching you build even though you came in last was a learning experience and watching you analyze other people’s builds too was awesome! Probably being a real engineer means you don’t consider ideas that wouldn’t work in real life even tho they would work in this game.
Aliens rock actually made a higher shot put throw and would have gone like 250m but he put in the one that was worse so he probably would have won the second round
Fun fact: the team that developed some of Konami's hardest games in the NES/SNES era had a rule that before a boss could be included in a game, the designer of the fight had to beat the boss without taking any damage.
.... .... Acknowledging this fact, leaves me wondering if it would still hold true against the inhabitants of an actual medieval castle. Who of medieval expertise would consider said question seriously? As serious as the question is at least.

@@RealCivilEngineerGaming We'll have to see if we can convince spiff to play next time he's no engineer but you can bet your bottom dollar he'll find some way to break the game.
I said to my parents that when I grow up I wanna be a Civil Engineer and they loved the idea! Thank you for making my day and giving me a smile! Greetings from Argentina!
I saw Poly Bridge Olympics, I clicked to see how you stacked up to Aliensrock and seeing everyone’s results and how the guy I was rooting for tied for second? It gave me a big smile.
I would love to see a version of this where the distances are infinite and there's no time limit. Scores would be given comparing cost vs. distance. Think that could lead to some incredible results.
Sadly, sandbox levels have a max size, and even if you were to move things outside of the normal boundaries, there's a physics border where all moving objects will cease to have their physics calculated.
I think what I realise from this is that maybe non-engineers might do a better job at this engineering game simply because they're not concerned about engineering rules and physics and stuff.
It’s like a bell curve: 1. “don’t care much about physics and stuff” 2. “No, care ALOT about physics and stuff!” 3. “It’s poly bridge. Let’s cheese it.”
I really loved seeing the different designs despite the outcomes. The approaches were wonderful to see! The different way people go about situations is always facinating to me
hey man i've been watching your stuff for a few weeks now -- just have to say that the extra effort put into graphics/visuals/editing in this video absolutely CRUSHED it. Much love.
Aliensrock was going to University for some sort of Engineering too, not sure if he graduated or not and I doubt it was Civil Engineering, but there are similar concepts across all engineering disciplines.
@@squeak2455 He was going to university for engineering? Since when? It's the first I've heard of it anyway. Have you seen his earlier polybridge videos? When he first started he was so bad it was laughable. To see him now is like night and day.

I love this and think you guys should 100% make more! but do like really weird ones. Like who can make the cheapest bridge, a bridge using the weakest material, reverse long jump (so like who can get a car moving forward to move backwards lol)
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming Life’s been busy man, I definitely didn’t spend 14 minutes at work to watch this (gotta love 2x speed). I need to catch up on your infra series! Regardless, and as always, love the content. Peace, love, and bridges! ✌🏻
Engineers worry about breaking the bridge. Gamers worry about breaking the game. So long as it passes, it doesn’t matter to the gamer whether or not it breaks. It’s inconceivable for an engineer to build a bridge that breaks. It goes against literally the foundation of what you believe. Keeping that in mind, makes your videos doubly hilarious.
Sad there weren't more faithful (to the game) style levels, though the ones you guys did do were all cool. (Stuff like, why was there no budget based level, or more actual bridges in general.) Since I want to be constructive, here's ten quickfire idea's for 2022's polylimpics that are closer to real polybridge levels: 1: A bridge that has to carry a medium/heavy (optionally with a boat crossing that goes to build height limit to prevent wood rope bridges) car across a large span with only 2 anchor points (one at each end.) Can't go wrong with the classics. 2: A bridge that has to get 3 cars to 3 different heights in ascending order with only 1 hydraulic. 3: A bridge that can survive a boat crossing without any moving parts (so likely a jump or something for the car/s.) 4: A bridge that can handle a boat crossing then loop-de-loop a fast car afterwards. 5: An 8 road piece distance bridge but you only have 4 road pieces. 6: Similar to the above, a bridge with only one road piece and no springs. (classic cable car/crane/swing designs and such.) 7: A bridge with only one anchor point situated in the water below, but the car pauses in the middle of the bridge and a boat crosses on the left (behind the car.) 8: A bridge that can get two cars to their stars, one far under and one far above, but both cars start on the left at the same time. 9: A bridge that only uses rope and 2 steel pieces but the car is super heavy. 10: A Bridge that uses at least 6 of every item type, but you can only use 6 of every item type. These would all be scored by budget or peak stress depending on the level. Or both. (so you'd get 1 point out of 10 for every 10% below 100% stress, and 1 point per $1,000 under budget.) What do you think, any fun sounding ideas in that lot?
We mainly tried to make levels themed around actual Olympic events, but with a poly bridge twist on them. Also, there unfortunately won't be another polylympics anytime soon (or at least, not one hosted by RCE) :(
For the 2nd one, calculate the cost/m per unit mass, and use that. Then attach the weight to a rope, and drop it from above the end of the rod. Since unbreakable parts are on, it'll build up some great speed due to acceleration, which can then be transferred into the boulder. I'll bet accelerating weights on an unbreakable rope is what scores the most points
Me: as an American i cant say how incredibly proud i am of Arglin, Aliensrock, and Reid Captain Bolt986: what about me! Me:... great job you 3 lol im just joking don't Will Smith me, great video!
Unbreakable ropes help quite a bit. IRL, trebuchets were always limited by the weight capacity of the ropes. That's why they were used with more specialized munitions: Greek fire or plague corpses. Yes, biological warfare was very much a thing in medieval times.

"My design has such ingenuity."
*Other people show their work*
"I'm an idiot."

You're telling me a real engineer and the game's developer did the worst....
Years of academy training wasted!
TIED for worst. 😁
As a game developer and a CompSci Engineer, yeah it checks out...
They're not trained for unlimited budget.
that makes sense

In the shotput event, the real deciding factor was accuracy, because they could all throw the weight farther than the level could handle.
