Queen Tery 4,591 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) In my intro to engineering class we split into 3 groups of 5 and had about 45 minutes to build a tower made out of bendy straws as high as we could. We had 100 bendy straws, some tape, and a pair of scissors. The rules were that the tower had to be free standing(it couldn't be taped to the desk or ground) and it had to be able to support a full soda can for AT LEAST 5 seconds. My team won, with our tower standing 2 feet and 4 inches high and just barely supporting this can of sprite It held it for about 8 to 10 seconds before we took the soda can off ourselves.
