They had 3 weeks (yes) to get 500 wifi controlled bloodpacks. And went through all stages of development hell. After technical problems, regulatory problems, supply chain problems, manufacturing problems and last but not least the obvious integration problems it started a day late (+500k$ for MrBeast) because the team with the targeting software had shit latency and drained their batteries prematurely.
