Hey, Bob here,

Any tips or ideas on storing a tower and moving it? Mine recently broke, and I was a little worried.

Thanks,

Bob

I usually put mine in a box with styrofoam on the bottom and keep it stable with pins.

What do you mean by pins?

I am assuming you don't push the pins into the tower itself.

I’ve used a plastic container for storage and put news papers then coat it with bubble wrap. It isn’t good for plane rides though haha. My partners bring a husky box and bubble wrap which is heavy duty. Although, the box itself is quite pricey.

Forgot to add....you should check out other boxes at Home Depot or hardware store.

I push them next to the tower on th inside and out to it doesn’t get loose and break inside the box.

Sometimes, the simpler the better. I've carried around stuff using litterally a card board box the dimention of towers. just hold it tight and dont like bump into it.

Just to brainstorm, what have you guys used for long travels on a bus or plane? Last year for nationals, a parent drove all of the way with a bunch of builds, but this year I doubt that. I will have to bring it on the 13-14 hour long bus ride.
