Devils' Tower first rise under power!

I'd say start working on other forms of wireless communication. Scout using Morse Code, hand signals, light flashes (LOST anybody?)... Paper cups and string are cheap too... - AndyB [more]

Keep up the great work!

The tower sections are made from .100 thick sheet aluminum - waterjet cut in halves then precision bent. Each of the four sections weighs about 10.5 pounds, and the stages are rigged in a cascading style with two sets of cables on opposite corners. This baby will be performing at the Boilermaker regional.

Thanks to all for the kind words.
