Building Competitions
Interbane:
That gives a benefit to those who have memorized many of the various designs for circuits. There's nothing wrong with that. :D
TheWholeLoaf:
Yes but if everyone looks up tutorials it's not fun
Interbane:
Well, the person who has the various components memorized would build faster than a person who has to reference tutorials. Scoring a competition involving mechanisms would need to include a similar Rubric to what FLL uses to score robot competitions.
Function - how well it performs the designated task.
Style - aesthetic judgement
Economy - How streamlined is the wiring? A small, compact, efficient design scores higher than a confabulated sprawling mass of redstone.
The creativity of the host is what would make or break a mechanism competition. A combination task would work. Like, build a mechanism that harvests a pumpkin, a cocoa bean, and a cactus, and delivers them to a 1 block area.
Or a themed competition. "Build the best hidden piston door"
Keep the task secret until the day of the competition, and allow only 2-3 hours to build it.

I have been trying to get an official building event going but there is just no possible way to do it right now without having the problem of guests stealing the items.
