Sorry you're right, it's not cranes and they aren't holding it up just keeping it steady. But my tower didn't need that, I built it strong enough it could atand of it's own accord.
Only to the ceiling, mind you. I don't have enough lego to go up 36 metres.
Theirs is strong enough to stand it’s just not stable enough to.
Weird distinction. I could pile concrete blocks 5 miles up. They are strong enough, just not stable enough. So, this would be the tallest supported lego structure.
If you stacked them into a five mile high pyramid they’d be strong enough and stable enough too.
Have you tried designing a TMD system to keep a tower stright at all times
I wonder if there's a separate record that doesn't allow the cables, where teams need to use these kinds of things to prevent it falling. Would probably have to be done indoors, away from wind.
