It looks like attachments are disabled in this forum; most likely an accident from rollover.baker wrote:How do you attach a picture?

First tower of the season.
Mass: 8.4g
Mass held: >15kg (probably around 25-30kg)
20-30kg is based off of estimates. We only had a max 500g scale so it is a pain to measure more.
Ratio = 15000/8.4 = 1786
Our ghetto chain ended up breaking before the tower so it may have held more, but it was already over max weight so it doesn't matter.
To put that score into perspective my best bridge last year was around 1500.

Division C. Tower was only 59.9 cm though due to miscalculation. But the difference should be minimal.

Re: Pictures, Videos, and Scores
Assuming you could make the tower lighter, but with the same efficiency of ~3000.. isn't that already a national placing tower??Clueless Builder wrote:First tower of the season.
