Red Bull Creation

Red Bull provided the metal and fuel for 10 teams during the 72 hour Red Bull Creation build-off in Brooklyn, New York. Dake provided the saws, drills, presses, and grinders. The metal fabricators were thrilled to get their hands on some Dake equipment. For most of the hackers, the build-off was the first time they did any serious metal fabrication. The hackers started out timidly. With some instruction and a few hours experience, the hackers were enthusiastically cutting, pressing, drilling, and grinding. Red Bull consumption kept them working through the nights until the final countdown. For more check out the video on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc2E8Tq-3Og
