Participants use SkyFire and Alleria Store resources to turn component selection into a working machine.
Official cutting patterns make the submission easier to judge and easier for other builders to learn from.
The Facebook group and public contest pages keep the learning loop open after registration.
The first contest proved the idea, the second edition expanded registration and test files, and the current competition continues the community with more divisions, resources, and technical documents.
