This is the most stable tower I got so far, but not enough Goos as usual
nothing new in design but did the job to get 40+

Nice, looks very stable indeed :)

I've not had the success I'd hoped with the big triangles. This one was nice:



But it turned out to be too unstable, so I had to patch it up, and ran out of goo with this one:



The big triangles are just a tad too expensive, it seems  :-\

I was watching ur towers lately on http://hell.student.utwente.nl/wog/
very impressive with the long triangles but ya, i was shocked when I saw all 300 Gooes been used!!!!

I guess, the long/short triangles is the best solution for this one, just like Palestinian tower

my last tower would have been higher if I did not have the legs as long, I think if I make it one unit shorter I would have enough Gooes for 45+m

maybe next time
I am collecting 300 more Gooes for another tower  ;)

Nice tower. Good Job.

im always scared of building big, one on top of the other, long triangles because of fear of collapse (maybe thats why im not a high score), but you did awesome!

heres my kinda tower (built it in about 5 minutes for this post)
