Fencing competition with a modern twist!
What happens here
The competition officially begins with the command 'Go!' Teams immediately spring into action, transporting wooden posts to their designated fence lines. Post drivers, including RAYCO and Protech models, are deployed to efficiently drive the posts into the ground. Competitors work diligently, using tools like power planers to shape posts for bracing and spud bars to clear the ground around driven posts. They are seen leveling posts meticulously and operating remote-controlled machinery to ensure precision.
Goal: Set all posts and construct initial braces for stability.
