Tension: a pulling and/or stretching force
Compression: a pushing and/or squashing force

Alright, so. The noddles at the very bottom of the base (meaning the ones touching the ground), weren't really under any pressure at all. Although, the supporting noddles coming up from the sides and straight through the middle, were on more of the compression side. The very top noddles were not very pressurized, though if they were they could have been a bit tensed (because of the gravity pulling it towards the table).

So, my basic role in the team was to help create ideas for the tower, and then to help make the tower itself.

Personally, I do think that we all worked together very well. Now, I can't speak for some of my team members, but for the most part we were all apart of the build and he planning.

Well, something I think we could have done differently would possibly be to create a wider base, or that is more stable. I say this because the top of the tower was so thin, it started to tilt to the side.

Eventually, my team chose to build the tower with the triangular base.

When finished, our tower was a height of 27 inches tall, exceeding the requirement of 24 inches.

The hardest part about building the tower, I think, was getting the straight part of the tower at the top, to stay in place and not lean over.

In my opinion, the easiest part of the build was the base, by far.

We finally decided on the shape to have a triangular base, which formed into a solid line at the top. Because we added more noddles than technically needed, our tower had a more than supportive base.

Constraints: We had minimal limitations, but some were that we had to break some of the noddles to fit, so we had to buy more throughout.

Criteria: Our tower had to be built only out of mini marshmallows and spaghetti noddles. The tower had to be at least 24 inches tall and it must stand for ten seconds on its own.

Our budget for this project was a max of $40. Fortunately, we only spent $10.25, which means we used 17 noddles and 10 marshmallows.

Our team had multiple ideas on what to build. Some of them were...
- Box
- Triangle
- Circle
