It seems like some postings I've seen would because it's repetitive, and others have like a full dance routine going on that lands perfectly on top and wouldn't work for any other pyramid.
On Friday, we had a design that could do 3 levels and would need changes to do more. I leave for the weekend, and now the team tells me we have a design that could do 100 levels if we wanted, without any changes
