You are to create a tower that is less than 10 grams in weight out of balsa wood that will fit all the way through a 2 inch by 2 inch gauge and be between 6 to 8 inches tall.  This tower will be tested at various earthquake simulation levels, with an increasing level of weights being added.  Three different earthquakes for each level of weight (2.5, 5 and 7.5 pounds) for 15 seconds each.

I highly recommend you watch how to layout and build the tower in the build video.   Good Luck
