Re: Towers B/C

Re: Towers B/C
I already have a backup. But I built a month ago, and hopefully the glue has not deteriorated. I will build a couple more through.shrewdPanther46 wrote:Thats really risky have a backupMadCow2357 wrote:Ohhhh yeah! I will probably do that then.

Re: Towers B/C
My partner and I are trying to figure out when to build our final tower for nationals. How much weaker do towers get over time? We are looking at building on the Sunday, Tuesday, or Friday the week of the competition.

Re: Towers B/C
First, you should read the past few pages in this thread. And I would build a couple days before nationals.TheSquaad wrote:My partner and I are trying to figure out when to build our final tower for nationals. How much weaker do towers get over time?

Re: Towers B/C
You'll be at PA states this weekend right? I think it should be fine, but I'm building mine tomorrow.Cow481 wrote:Will my tower be weakened if I made it this past Saturday? I hope not

Re: Towers B/C
We recently tested some towers we made last year and they were fine. As long as you store them in a dry location, they should be good.

What scores do you think will get top 5, top 10, or top 15 at the Michigan state tournament in division C?
