2023 pile of poo sign up!

Also, what do people think about doing minor League and major league? Split it to give the learning builders more recognition of their efforts or just keep it as one large pool of builds because it's all just for fun anyway?

Any way you want to split it up is fine by me. If it does get split, I tend towards agreement with this:

I think major/minor leagues is worth a shot. I’m definitely in the minor league.

There are rules.... "cheating in other ways" was the verbiage, which means that only the specified rules apply and none of the traditional rules or "spirit of the game" type stuff are being enforced.



Alright alright alright.... I really hoped people would swipe these up and remove the temptation.

Sign me and my hand tools up.

I am in for one. Shoot me your PayPal when you get shipping figured out. Should be fun!

Well since the rules of this build allow cheating I’m not sure it matters 😝

Where would the fun be if we all followed the rules?

Y'all realize that the stakes are only as high as the fun of the build goes, right? If you're upset at the idea of being "beat" then you've already lost.

... I mid blocked my autococker with mostly hand tools. the only non-hand tool I used was a tabletop drill press and I would have been just fine using a hand drill

I know very well what hand tools can produce. That's what I have. The only "machine" I have is a drill press, which is the most basic of machining tools. But when you don't have a 3d printer or a mill, you definitely have to get more creative about the build, and the processes you use to get it done. Machinists have a clear advantage in this, which I'm not complaining about one bit (I could have bought so many tools if I didnt buy a Jeep, but thats my choice, I get that.) I'm just wishing luck to anyone going against the "big guys" on the list.

Also like JeepDVLZ45, I have no time for another project right now. So I'm not being bitter or anything, this just didnt appeal to me enough to make me want to set other projects aside to do it. Cheers.

Aw come on jeep. I dont expect to compete for the win, but Ill get to make something fun with a marker that was donated by the hive. Join the fun.

I will only be spectating on this one since I don’t even have time to play let alone tinker at the moment.

However, I think Minor League vs Major should be broken up a little differently.

Anyone with 3D printers or lathes/mills etc should be considered Major League

Hand tools only should be Minor League since they are at a significant disadvantage

[Trbo323]

This sounded fun, until you got to the part about cheating and whatnot. Because of this, I'll be a spectator.

Good luck to the underdogs with hand tools.

That aside

I was actually thinking about this the other day because it seems like we have a handful of newer builders in this one so I was thinking of splitting it into essentially the minor League and the Major leagues

The minor League would be anybody with limited experience doing builds or custom work and with limited tools

Major leagues would be anybody with more experience and capability and anybody attempting a 2 or more barrel build


Thoughts?

That's always a thing with a pile-o-poo build-off.

Much of it is in the hands of the judges, but you have to find the build you enjoy personally, winning or not. That's the fun part, seeing what people come up with, even if just functional.

We've had some really nice hand tooled builds in the past.
