Description: Teams will build ahead of time a tower made only from pasta (any kind) and hot glue, designed to be as efficient as possible.

Materials: Teams MUST bring their tower and safety spectacles with side shields.

Event leaders will provide the testing apparatus, scoresheets, and rulers, scales etc. for measuring the tower.
