The Evolution of Fold‑N‑Fight: From Paper Battles to Build‑N‑Bash

What began as a fun, hands-on challenge involving folded paper and simple wheeled chassis has grown into something far more innovative, immersive, and educational. Over the years, this project has evolved through multiple phases, each shaped by lessons in creativity, sustainability, and engineering. Today, we're proud to introduce the latest evolution in our journey—Build‑N‑Bash—the ultimate maker combat experience that builds on everything we’ve learned and brings it to life in the most exciting way yet.
