You'd also have to make it hold as little weight as possible, but it still has to hold the loading block assembly (otherwise competition violation: +1000 points). Just imagine elite teams like Troy trying to build a really, really bad tower... they'd try and try, but they would keep scoring 4000+. You'd hear them cursing this event, and saying something like, "Ugh... it's so hard to build a tower that scores below 3500!"

Time for a Revive!

Beaches on Mars (Reach for the Stars) - Participants will be assigned different beaches on the surface of Mars, and they must write a brochure about it within the given event time.
