ESports?

I saw that people are competing to use Excel in ESports competitions and it got me thinking, perhaps soldering or PCB layout could be an ESport?

I remember watching on TV a fighting competition between robots, I think it was "ESports". Besides, I know about a contest for PCB layout from my school days, I also know about local meetings about soldering competitions. So I think there is already an area for these.
Do you know about *** contest?

Coincidently, registration is open for the IPC Design competition 2024.

IPC Design Competition 2024 | IPC International, Inc.

Not sure if the 2023 was a great success, but it sounds like something you are looking for.

Soldering a powered circuit. Magic smoke means you're out. Last one standing wins.

e14 contests last weeks or months. Setting up a contest that completes in real time - just minutes - is a whole new thing. It may appeal to different members.
