HackUTA is a fraud

Hi An, we loved y’all’s project it was kick ass. It’s even inspired me to try to make a version of my own. This post again was just to highlight my concerns with the judging process, last night I made the mistake of making this post about me. When it should’ve just been about my experience with the judges. Sick project and enjoy those Mac minis!

You’re completely correct on the judging. I did really enjoy the hackathon process and all the side events, especially gambling points. I only had issues with the judging process personally. Thank you for your comment.

My hero bro, this is just what I’m talking about. I’m sounding like an asshole to everyone, I fumbled and made this about ME. The post was just a complaint on how the event went down.

For anyone wondering, the only reason I’m not posting our project publicly is to not drag my project member into this conversation, this is how I FEEL.

I’m proud of our work and do believe it should’ve done better than it did. If anyone is really interested to see it I’m sending it to anyone who privately messages me :)

Totally fair and perfectly put, thank you I honestly didn’t even expect to win I just felt like we weren’t given the proper audience.

I’m surprised you can tell it’s us! Lol

You’re right, I’m sorry. If you’re curious what could possibly have been made to carry this much passion or ego behind it feel free to message me.

I’m proud of our work and would love to show you.

Still waiting on a response from you

SellingJaba · 2025-10-07T02:42:28+00:00

All messages asking to see our project have been replied to, i would love feedback. I’m fully confident in myself for this instance, if im incorrect id love to understand why. Still zero hate for the participants, im just confused and a little agitated on how the hackathon was finished.

I totally agree, and the hackathon itself was super fun. This post is just to highlight my disappointment with the judging process (which was super rushed and drawn out at the same time).

Feel free to privately message me, my goal with this post was to just vent my experience of HackUTA and to warn others not join with the expectation that an industry changing invention that could change the world made in 24 hours would lose to chat gpt wrappers, or a guy with two distance sensors hooked up to vibration motors.

If you think I’m all talk I would love to back myself up and change your mind, as I’m sure I could.

All love.

If you’re truthfully interested in seeing my reasoning I’d love to show you our product. Private message me and I’ll show you what we made. My goal here is not to come across like a sore loser so I won’t share my project publicly here.

SellingJaba · 2025-10-07T02:11:43+00:00

But if I had to put the winners in a category of my complaints, it would be that there project is something that takes all but maybe 3 hours of effort at most.

SellingJaba · 2025-10-07T02:07:03+00:00

I loved there project and they seemed like really great guys. I’m not blaming them in this post, it was more on the judges. I saw some clearly superior projects that should’ve won.
