The cranes aren’t holding it up the cable stays are keeping it from falling over.

Sorry you're right, it's not cranes and they aren't holding it up just keeping it steady. But my tower didn't need that, I built it strong enough it could atand of it's own accord.

Only to the ceiling, mind you. I don't have enough lego to go up 36 metres.

Theirs is strong enough to stand it’s just not stable enough to.

Weird distinction. I could pile concrete blocks 5 miles up. They are strong enough, just not stable enough. So, this would be the tallest supported lego structure.

If you stacked them into a five mile high pyramid they’d be strong enough and stable enough too.

Have you tried designing a TMD system to keep a tower stright at all times
