From SOSI (Science Olympiad Summer Institute):

Most teams build their towers based on plans like those shown below. They also use pins to hold the balsa wood in place as it's drying (WITHOUT poking any holes in the tower-to-be itself -- the thicker pieces of balsa wood shown below did NOT appear in the final tower!).

The third picture shows scores from coaches who made their own towers (alas, Mr. J. did more research than development) -- think you can do better? (Mr. J. thinks you can.)

Finally, the fourth and fifth pictures show examples of completed towers.
