Problem: Legos weren't long enough
In my era of legos they usually had eight? little buttons (or less?) - but no more - so you could stagger step them all you wanted to but the barrell would always break from its weight.
But then, if I or my buddies ever did that .
(1) We'd learn a little about physics, statics, and physical strength and stresses, (not knowing them as by such terms); and then,
(2) Would go off to build a turtle (much easier); or,
(3) An alligator. (And even the alligator was easier to build and less likely to fall apart at the first pointing of it.)
But that was back in a normal world.
