I read the wiki article but it doesn't list all of the requirements... it briefly mentions a couple but that's it. I'd really appreciate it if somebody could explain to me what they are! :D
Thanks

Get the rules sheet from your coach.

If you do not have it, as in if ur team doesn't have the rules manual, order it at the science olympiad national site.

Anyway, here:

Height has to be > or equal to 50cm
Base has to span 20 cm x 20 cm square (doesn't necessarily mean that the base has to be these dimensions....)
From 15cm height and above, the tower must fit within a 8 cm diameter circle

That's pretty much it....other than obvious rules like no commercial lamination, no bamboo, etc.
