When i look at all the tutorials on goofans, i began to wonder: Why hasnt anyone made a tutorial on how to build really tall towers? Im a real noob at making anything above 25 meters and it would be nice if some of the leaders could share some tips.
If you want a tip,here's a tip: Pyramid is a very stable structure.
Crazeh man!
But pyramid is not very high...
As I saw, all world's highest towers has very regular structure.

This is a quick guide for beginners...
-start with a pyramid using all 300 Goo balls
-try ur best to make it look symmetrical for a good balance
-then start chopping the sides off and reuse the Goo balls at the top.
-do not leave too many free goo balls roaming ur high tower as they will shake it.
-you can trap them in a mini built to the side of the tower (detached)
-you might need to stitch the sides for more stability
-leave around 20-25 balls for a quick rush that could make you 15+m. this is the cheap unstable built you see on the top of the towers on the leaderboard.
-always backup your profile as you will certainly need to fallback at some stage!
-and use the GooTool to inspect the full tower from time to time.
-when the tower is too high, exit, backup the profile, enter again and watch the direction it falls at. then restore the backup and enter again. NOW rush to balance it from the other side... keep on doing this...(I know it is a nightmare!!!)
