Powertool Racing v4 & Maker Olympics!

The crowd controls the outcome, and that’s where it gets *interesting.* ## Pay to DO IT OVER! Think the wrong racer won? Think the race was unfair? A false start? A broken racer? Your best bud just needs another chance? Spectators and competitors can donate to trigger redos or override race outcomes. You ARE part of the action! Every dollar goes directly to supporting Make Santa Fe, a nonprofit makerspace dedicated to keeping hands-on creativity alive in New Mexico. Want to race? Sign up here. Want to wreak havoc?

MAKE THE CUT Fastest one to cut a 4×4 post clean in half wins. SCREW IT! Drive a 1⅝” screw into a 2×4 using only a handheld screwdriver. TAPE MEASURE FISHING Use only your tape measure to drag objects across a table to your side. It’s harder than it looks. MINI BATTLE BOTS Control a mini battle bot to pop your opponents balloons! ### THE CAUSE Powertool Racing isn’t just a…
