Here is a first for me. 7.5 inches 3 part structure, 102.258 ratio. It would have held more if I wouldn't have pinched my fingers on the last weight. I've heard of two 100 ratios before on 1 part structures but this is a first for multi-part structures. If this were the odd pod or last years OotM problem, the tower would have passed 2000 pounds and I would need a ladder to place on the weights. Just had to share this with everyone. I just do this as a hobby and it makes my day when something actually does what it is supposed too. Hope it adds a little more motivation for everyone as to what is really possible with balsa.

Hey!
It would be great if you could send a picture, because I'm in Odyssey and I'm doing problem 4. That would be incredible for Shockwaves, considering I could just add height. I went to Worlds last year and would really appreciate it if you could assist me to go again. It was amazing!!!!!!!!! [/b]

We are just playing around. Tommy originally respond to your 3 layers comment by saying it's just like a (3 layer) cake. It then diverged from there as our conversations normally do. None of us actually know the design except Jake, though I think most of us can postulate where it's heading. To answer your questions, you are asking the wrong questions and are thinking about the design in the wrong way.Diguy145 wrote:Wow, four people responded, and i still don't understand... I guess integrating delicious deserts and structures is an OM thing... I love pie... Anyone care to explain how a three part structure is "frosted" together?
I say no more for fear of the OA boogyman snatching up my sweet potato pies...
