Q8.3: Under section 8.3/8.4, the rules specify a 1/2 in. diameter rod to be inserted for dead load installation. In the 2022 rules, the length of the rod is specified as 20 in. long, however we were not able to find the length in this years’ rule book. As the tower dimensions are different from 2022 to 2023, we were wondering what this years’ 1/2 in. steel threaded rod length is

A: The rods that will be used in this year’s competition will have the same dimensions as the previous year: 0.5 inch diameter and 12 inch long.
