Challenge #470: Build the Tallest Tower

TH
8 - Asteroid

I learned from this one that ways exist to optimize my workflows so that they fit within my computer's memory restrictions.

In the end it is the case that the solution makes sense. Low weights, high load capacities, and good heights.

Also, I chose to output the configuration of the final block tower along with its height.

Solved! That one reminded me a bit of some of the Advent of Code problems.

To keep my macro simple, I removed the Height piece and then added it after the iterations were complete

Iterative Macros are making more sense, slowly.

This one took me a minute to track the overall weight to meet the goal.
