Constraints

Poor

Towers were not built to the constraints set out for the top base, bottom base, and overall height. 2 more more were over 1/2" incorrect.

Towers were built to the constraints set out for the top base, bottom base, and overall height. All three were within 1/16" of the required amount
Design of Structure

Poor

The structure used very few design elements that are required for building objects that support weight. Joints were not tight and did not fit well into the other beams.
Fair

The structure used design elements that are required for building objects that support weight. More triangles should have been placed throughout the walls. The joints of beams were fairly well done and connected ok to the other beams.
