Comment on How tall can a Lego tower get?parent

Comments

SO the rules of Lego-tower-building have to have the slope of the sides of the tower steeper than the angle of repose of a mass of bricks, eh? Otherwise, it's just a pile, not a tower.

Yep. But that's with no constraints. I'd think that a good combination would be a limited floor space and a set quantity of bricks. No other supports, no guy wires.

And for extra credit, the tower should survive a run on the shake table.
