Hello, I am Karen Torres, I would like to obtain more information about the contest, aspects such as: materials used, technical indications, quantity. weights etc. It seems to me a great contest to put into practice theory about earthquakes and the damage that the earthquake can do to a structure.

Top heavy will always fail your structure. That's quite a shake.
