This latest round is being hosted by Tadashistate:

From his official announcement -

tadashistate says:
Hear ye, hear ye, the next Iron Builder Challenge is upon us. I, this round's guest host, am here to atone for the lack of merriment in the last round by making sure that we get some serious excitement out of these two contestants. With new rules in place, parts already in hand, and men ready to show the world that they’ve got skill.

The brick, with which our contestants will shape their fates, is none other than the sand green robot body!


Without further adieu I present the Iron Builder himself, the thunder from down under, the monkey master, Karf Oohlu!
And challenging him, the knight in shining armour, the king of the seven seas, SlyOwl! Will Karf, the veteran of the arena, be able to hold his throne against our young contender? What will triumph, SlyOwl's hilarious scenes or Karf's fantastic world of craziness. Only time will tell as both builders have demonstrated serious proficiency with the brick so there is no doubt in my mind that our mystery piece will see some love!

Keep in mind though, each contender must complete two entries, one at the half way mark and the other before the end of the month. This in no way means that you may only submit two. On the contrary, we encourage as many entries as possible!

There you go gentlemen, have at ‘er!

Iron pillar of Delhi

The iron pillar is one of the world’s foremost metallurgical curiosities. The pillar, almost seven metres high and weighing more than six tonnes, was erected by Chandragupta II Vikramaditya (375–414 CE). It is the only piece of the Jain temple remaining, which stood there before being destroyed by Qutb-ud-din Aibak. A fence was erected around the pillar due to the popularity of a tradition that considered it good luck if you could stand with your back to the pillar and make your hands meet behind it.

The Qutab complex, also spelled Qutb or Qutub, is an array of monuments and buildings at Mehrauli in Delhi, India, the most famous of which is the Qutb Minar. This complex was first constructed by Qutab-ud-din Aibak, the first ruler of the Slave Dynasty, and his successor Iltutmish (aka Altmash) in his new city called the Qila-Rai-Pithora near Prithivraj Chauhan's older city. The complex was added to by many subsequent rulers, including Iltutmish and Ala ud din Khilji as well as the British.[1]

The most famous monument situated in the complex is the Qutub Minar; other important constructions in the complex are the Quwwat ul-Islam Mosque, the Alai Gate, the Alai Minar and the Iron pillar. Twenty-seven previous Jain temples were destroyed and their materials reused to construct the minar and other monuments of the complex.
