||||
- **Community Engagement**: Head-to-head competitions create excitement
|
||||
- **Skill Development**: Challenges participants to think creatively under pressure
|
||||
## Future Challenge Ideas
|
||||
- **"Sliced" Rapid Design Competition**: Timed on-site modeling/slicing challenge.
|
||||
- **Mechanical Compliance**: 100% print-in-place compliant mechanisms without hardware.
|
||||
