They are minimums, outlined in rule 3.c., and there is no maximum height.I do not have my copy of the rules yet, but those sound like the height for maximum points, not minimums.
Isn't this true for bridge also? Though there is no height limitation, a B bridge's compression will have a larger angle relative to the table than a C bridge with the same height.so... the angle of the columns is actually greater for B than C... interesting.
A longer bridge has a greater moment. Only the component of force normal to the radius affects the moment. The angles the main structural components make with ground in bridges are typically very different from those for towers.Isn't this true for bridge also?

Hmm..I was just saying that they were similar in that B division bridges would have a larger angle than C division bridges just as in towers. But now that I think about it, how are the angles in towers B greater than C? I'm confused, maybe just about which angles we're talking about...A longer bridge has a greater moment.
