Poly Bridge is a video game that’s ostensibly about building bridges to transport a car across a gaping ravine, but it’s actually so much more than that, as one clever player proved over the weekend.

Or you can borrow a page from Sonic the Hedgehog and use a loop-the-loop.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous.

This giant robot built from bridge girders was so crazy that people weren’t even sure it was real. Maybe it’s not!
