Odd Pod Structure

     This problem requires teams to design and build a structure of balsa wood and glue that will rest on an odd number of team-made pods while holding as much weight as possible. The team must have a minimum of three pods and will be awarded points for the number of pods used. The pods can be made of any material but must measure no more than 2” x 2” x 3/4”. The team may place the pods anywhere outside of an 8-inch circle on the tester. Once the structure is placed on the pods, it will be tested by balancing and supporting weights.
