Evolution of 3D Lego structures

This is a picture of a "Lego Table", our first experiment in evolution of 3D lego structures. Our previous models evolved 2D lego structures only.

This table satisfies multiple specifications as established in our fitness functions:

• height: It's 10 blocks tall.
• surface: Its top covers a 9x9 square (almost!).
• support: It supports a load of 50 grams anywher in its surface.
• lightness: It uses as few bricks as possible.
