As the combat phase progressed through the rounds, many people became thrilled and surprised by the performance and the designs of the mechs fighting in the arena.
It was amazing to see what mech designers managed to whip up in just 48 hours. The proportion of mech designers and mech design students within the live audience was great, so plenty of people possessed the technical background to understand how much skill, effort and vision it took to make those impressive machines!
A lot of people came in expecting to see the mechs designed by Team Larkinson to dominate the competition without breaking any sweat.
That did not happen.
Instead, they witnessed a struggle as Team Larkinson matched up against at least two championship-level rivals in the second and the fourth round.
More talents emerged who displayed enough strength and potential to challenge the infamous patriarch of the Larkinson Clan.
