At Q4 today, it was discussed the idea of a SMASH challenge for Q3.

The idea – make a build that is designed to break a part – from a height, a fall, or a maybe a bat. I don’t think we are certified for explosions. 🙂

It is a long way off, but wanted to get everyone thinking about it.

Ha ha – it was after the Discord was logged off. I may have been leading a chorus of SMASH! SMASH! SMASH! Possibly…

Kiddie Pools are a great idea.

Is the type of SMASH up to the builder or should we collect those that want to participate and do a random generator for a specific type of smash?

Bold of you to assume you need certified… Ill try my hardest to be there, the only thing I ask is that no one actually blows something up… The last thing I wanna do on a day off is search Josh’s yard for someone’s missing fingers

Was there any mention at the Q2 meeting of SMASH as the build challenge for Q3 2024?

Hi Greg – yes, we did confirm Q3 is the Smash / Drop challenge. I believe there are rumors of a Falcon flying!

Does anyone have a high speed camera to record the smashing in Lego Masters style so that the effect of the smash can be analyzed for artistic style?

Do we really have participants?

This looks like a fun build / drop. Suppose it doesn’t have to be a perfect build. By dropping a falcon it will then be a good reasons to give the record another go. Tim Brown dont get no ideas about a second falcon being dropped (heck it’s still under construction

I haven’t decided if I will participate or not yet. If I don’t I have no problems Judging.

I’ve uploaded videos of the SMASH Challenge!! Just click on the photo below to view them, and by all means TURN UP THE SOUND to get the full experience!!

1st Place – Kristen W.
2nd Place – Adam’s Daughter
3rd Place – Marcella
Honorable Mention – Jonny W.

We did have a fifth entry from Dan W., but unfortunately it suffered a catastrophic failure during pre-launch preparations and no one caught that on video!!
