Building Strong Shapes with Triangles - 1 views

  •  
    "Using Roger's Connection, you can build many, many different shapes. If you remember to try to use triangles in your designs, then your designs will be strong. Without triangles, a design will be much weaker, or sometimes even impossible. One day you may be a designer or engineer and create things for other people to use that make use of some of the shapes we have been discussing. The lessons you learn today about these shapes and the use of triangles, may help you to create stronger and more successful designs in the future. Many other people have had to learn these lessons only from books. If you have followed these examples then you have a big advantage in having learned these lessons first-hand. This will help you remember these lessons much more easily!"
