We created a Lego Speedrun - Try to beat us
There are a ton of video game speedruns out there:
- How fast can you beat the Enderdragon?
- or watch this guy: he spawns with Link and no equipment and straight up runs to Ganondorf.
It's fun to follow that and always see new ways how people beat these games.
And there are speedruns outside of the gaming world. For example, Rubik's Cubes. The Nurburgschleife in Germany, this one little benchmark boat for testing your 3D printer.
But why isn't there a Lego speedrun?
So my cousin and I tried to come up with a ruleset for speedrunning Lego so everyone has the same circumstances and we can see who is the fastest builder. We searched for a Lego set that is cheap, has a decently small piece count (so a run doesn't take as long), and people are able to do their own run.
- So we decided on the Lego Creator 31376 Hamster.
And here are the rules we came up with: If you do a speedrun, you first open all bags, put the bricks in a cup or something, and shake it. You release the pieces on your table. In that moment the counter starts. You can use the instruction, but if you want to improve your time and maybe set a world record, you are allowed to build the hamster from memory, so you don't need the instruction papers. We would be happy if you would join this competition.
Here you can see my attempt without instructions: https://youtu.be/53i3lhJ9-5I?si=JR0kdRf-X6n0UOg7
