The supplies needed for competitive boomilever and
tower building events are few and straightforward. Balsa, with its high
strength to weight ratio, is the wood of choice. All substructures must be made up of strips no
larger than .25" x .25" (cross-section), which makes wood purchase
simple. Any width or thickness of substructures laminated from this basic
component is permitted. Wood may be sanded to allow for more or less thickness
where needed for optimal strength/weight distribution.
***SCHOOLS: PO's accepted, but ALL TRANSACTIONS ARE PREPAID.
