Rumble in the junk
The event for all those who are looking for a magical spark to ignite their minds and waiting for an opportunity to literally 'build' their ideas. What you need here is a strong desire to innovate and all the creativity you can muster, to convert what would ordinarily be called a pile of "junk" into something that is practically useful. So if you think you have it in you to visualize perhaps a flying marvel from pieces of scrap metal and the technical know-how to make it soar, get ready to "Rumble".
The event consists of three rounds conducted over a period of two days. Each round is eliminatory.
