Why do you need a new jig every time?

Same... ;) I do 95% of the building. It is the same for Battery Buggy, too. I have the same partner for all three of my events, if you are wondering.

But why don't you use jigs?

i learned to build with really nothing except my blueprint thingy, wood, superglue, and sandpaper, and never bothered to make jigs and build with them.

I have to rebuild my paper jig every time as it is too flimpsy and gets torn when I remove it from my tower

But yea I rarely take breaks. I always feel like I'm less focused if I take a break in between.
