Although the nerf range project was successful, it turned out that there was little interest in the competative building portion of this project. On the upside, the range had 5 installs during 2015, with hundreds of excited players during that time.
So although the MFUKLC project (it's a terrible acronym) has now reached it's conclusion, the same technology (with upgrades like full colour, animated, LED targets) lives on as Made Invaders.
DefProc, 2016
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to build a device that can propel small light weight projectiles against a target.
Round 1: MakerFaire UK 2015 (25-26 April Newcastle) MakerFaire UK.
Round 2: MakeFest Liverpool 2015 (27th June, Central Library, Liverpool) LpoolMakeFest.
Round 3: MakeFest Manchester 2015 (8–9th August, MOSI, Manchester) MakeFest.
Round 4: Oggcamp '16
Take a look at the rules to find out what you need to do. You can be a part of this challenge, either by entering at an event where the target will be, or by running your own event wherever and whenever you choose.
