    This is a Rube Goldberg Contraption -

    [youtube]Ae6ovaDBiDE[/youtube]


    This weekend (Saturday 7th) we're hosting the first BBuild Weekend building competition. This (hopefully) marks the start of weekly competitions that the Sandbox mods will put together and organize.

    Rules:

    • You're allowed to use all stools on the server including the Lazer stool.
    • You're NOT allowed to use Wire or PHX. This is all physics based and must remain so. PHX plates are mainly uninventive so yeah, no PHX either. Either of these = disqualification
    • The map used will be gm_flatgrass_2008 (can be downloaded from the server).
    • We will allow you to test your contraption on a private server before it goes live in front of the judges (namely: Sandbox mods) to ensure it's all working correctly.
    • If your entry happens to stall and you cannot fix it within a minute, you're disqualified.
    • Saying you don't want to partake anymore during the event will be instant disqualification. This means you cannot suddenly get cold feet and want to partake again.
    • It must last for at least 1:30.
    • There needs to at least be 8 entries to receive the prizes.
    • You cannot work as a team. Well you can, but only the person who enters it gets the cubes.
    Those rules can be changed at any time up until the event where they'll be stuck in place.

    Prizes:

    Yep, there's even prizes if you win!


    • First place - 100k Cubes
    • Second place - 50k Cubes
    • Third place - 25k Cubes
    In the future there will be better rewards, however there may be extra rewards if I get a few things done in time.

    Other Notes-
    • The prop limit will be 200 for everyone apart from blacklisted users.
    • You can and will still be blacklisted if you dick around during this event. It's supposed to be fun, not for someone to fuck up.

    So yep, we look forwards to seeing everyone there.

    I'm in. Does such a contraption have to be build on the server within the weekend, or can we make a video of it and upload it to be shown?
