Fuel Frenzy

Fuel Frenzy title screen

Fuel Frenzy is our 8-bit arcade game for the REBUILT season, built by the programming team. Then we built the cabinet: woodworking, panels, wiring, joysticks and the painted desert and wild-west artwork, all by students. It travels to competitions and workshops, and the plan is to install it at the local library.
