ReStory Akiba Competition Guide: Prepare the Build Order Before the Timer

Treat it as preparation, not improvisation

Community guides exist specifically for the competition's order of operations. That signals that the challenge is easier when the required builds and sequence are known before the attempt.

Use an illustrated reference to recognize the items, then verify each step in your current build.

Group by complete device

Switching repeatedly between unrelated assemblies increases the chance of leaving a connector or case unfinished. Complete one coherent device chain where the event permits it.

Keep the workbench clear and use the to-do list as the handoff point between builds.

1. Review every required item.
2. Confirm tools and licenses.
3. Lay out the first device route.
4. Complete and verify it.
5. Move to the next route.

Compare version and language

Illustrated community guides can remain useful after text changes, but labels and event details may differ by patch or language.

If a step no longer matches, follow the visible competition requirement and send a correction with the current version.
