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.
Scoring: Highest structural efficiency wins. Structural efficiency is determined by taking the mass the tower held (up to 15,000 grams max) and dividing it by the mass of the tower (in grams).
