What's up, Domino community? Today, we are attempting to break the world record for the tallest domino structure
0:07
Currently, the record to beat is 32.9 feet tall, so I gathered a team of expert domino artists and we got to work
0:14
Meet our lead tower builders. We've got Steven from Stay Fon Top, Marco from Rollercoaster 3 Freak, and Michael from Stick Trick Domino Dude
0:22
Together, we were about to do the impossible. I'm excited. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time
0:27
I want you to keep this in mind. I don't really love heights. Hoping to get it to 34 feet. I think that's around 450-ish levels
0:36
So this is our floor surface. It's a platform that we're going to be building on. It's two feet by two feet, but the tower is probably going to be a little less than that
0:42
We're going to use the octo tower technique. So rather than a square side, it's going to be pillars of these octagon
0:49
And hopefully that makes it a little bit more stable so that we can build it taller without it tipping over
0:54
We've got two scissor lifts. We've got a team. I'm just really hoping we can break it without it falling over by accident
1:00
Let's start building! Navigating the scissor lift, we just had to make sure we were practicing ahead of time
1:15
How's the view from there? Pretty good. Good? Nice. We've just finished day one of the tower
1:25
There were some dominoes that got dropped inside? Yes, so actually more than one are just in the structure right now
1:33
So there's a few dominoes that are still there only because there's so much weight on top of them
1:38
them Steven accidentally lets a domino fall into the center Three dominoes I think are knocked out At this point we had two choices
2:02
Either A, continue building on top of the broken pieces and risk the tower collapsing unexpectedly
2:09
or B, attempt to fix it, but with the caveat that there was an extremely high chance
2:14
that we may actually topple it in attempting to repair it. After much deliberation, we decide to keep building
2:21
Check out our world record attempt. It is super tall at this point
2:31
We've started building the 2x2 pillar, and it's getting a little wobbly, like uneven
2:36
Hoping it stays up till tomorrow, because I think we can finish. The tower could collapse at any moment now, so we had to finish soon
2:47
Got it! You absolute... Great job guys
2:56
So happy to be done! Nice job! Nice job! Just amazing, this is the domino tower that I've always wanted to build
3:10
Just need to get it measured officially and then we broke the world record, yeah
3:14
Alright, 10.128 meters. We did it
3:25
I'm going to throw my squirrel Nabla at the tower. I just like squirrels
