Our Idea was nearly ready when we discovered a big problem with the materials or rather with the supplies. We wanted to cut out our improved tunnel-system with an engraving pencil, but that would be a technical support. So far so bad. But if the given materials and supplies would … Weiterlesen …
Actually, the first idea was pretty … shit. It wasn‘t as imaginative as we wanted it to be, and pretty similar to the Olympia-arena in munich, so we‘re literally presenting the second idea. We thought a lot about, how it could be able to work in reality, because building a roof out … Weiterlesen …
We are pleased to announce that the teams for the various competitions have been set up. The work can begin. 🙂 We are particularly delighted about the large number of rookies who have joined us this year.
The 2025/2026 season is starting and brings us many exciting new tasks to work on. We look forward to seeing our friends again at the various competitions. See you soon!
We finally handed our tower to the “Hochschule München”! It was transported in a makeshift cardboard box so that it would not only be protected from potential damages but also curious stares. When we carried it openly through our school, we had to endure a lot of people intensely staring, … Weiterlesen …
The hardest part of building the tensegrity tower was finding a starting point and understanding the pattern of the structure of the 3D model we used as a reference. The strings kept shifting around at first because some weren’t attached as strongly as the others. It was annoying to tighten … Weiterlesen …
We finally started building our tower by beginning with the Chinese Tower part that is supposed to go on top. By gluing toothpicks or skewers together, we formed many hexagons, which, as we know from last year’s project, are especially sturdy. You can see these in the picture below. We … Weiterlesen …
After countless hours of consideration, discussion, and research, we’ve composed a final plan for our tower. We decided to follow the idea mentioned in our previous blog post of merging design elements of the Chinese Tower from the English Garden in Munich with a Tensegrity structure. For the Tensegrity part, … Weiterlesen …
After at least somewhat understanding how Tensegrity works, we wondered how we could plan a completely original tower design. At first, we looked into the math that revolves around this principle and quickly realized that it was far from the relatively simple math that we were taught in school so … Weiterlesen …
To build a Tensegrity tower, we have to do an immense amount of research. So let me tell you what we found out so far. Even though we focused on towers in our case, there is no certain way that a tensegrity structure has to look. This principle can also … Weiterlesen …
