The Tower
In order to build up the highest tower which can withstand the blow test, we decided to design a tower using playing cards and paper clips. The design chosen by the group is a triangulated tower with a base that surrounds the main tower to give it some structural support so that when blown, it won't easily collapse.
The triangulated base supports as a base to secure the cards onto the ground firmly. The cards are then joined together in a triangular shape by paper clips. The reason why a triangular shape is chosen is so that more cards can be used to stack up making the tower taller.
Resulting Video:
When the tower was blown gently, the tower only swayed a little. But as soon as a huge blow was given, the tower collapse.
