LOL, true, but remember this year , everything is upside down and sideways.
There is a machining project on the table with all the internals ordered and in hand with material ready to be machined. However machine time is a real problem for the time frame, this one is time consuming, so we will nibble on it in pieces until completed, then post afterwards.
I am trying to understand why only few members are taking part in the challenge and thinking maybe some only have mechanical expertise and other electronics exoerexpe.
Maybe there is an option to allow forum members to participate as a team of 2. One will build the body, and send it to the other member to do the electronics.
What do you think? It may create friendship among members
Hi Mieciu. Yes your build qualifies for the 'Modified Category'. You'll need to make a thread for it and show as much as you can how you built it. It looks very interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing more
I do think this is a good idea. I said something similar in this thread . However it was also pointed out to me that if the persons already interested in the comp decided to team up in pairs then itās possible to get even less entries than we currently get. It also begs the question (if we introduce this new category) why have the limit of only one entry per person? Personally i think anything that can entice more overall people to get involved can only be a good thing. However it has also previously been mentioned to me that some people are wary (or possibly even embarrassed) to enter if they know the other participants are ātoo goodā.
Itās a fine line to try and open up the restrictions whilst still keeping the home hack interested in having a goā¦ Anyone who has an opinion one way or the other I would like to hear it
Started new thread - will upload more pictures/movies later
EDIT:
I also have 1 underwater project - made from scratch without using any of existing flashlight parts.
Can I submit new thread in āMachine Madeā? category
EDIT#2 - Iāve just red about only one single build limit in this contestā¦.
I would like to say iām keeping on top of things and encouraging all the contestants but iāve been a little busy with work lately. Aside from fathers day last week i havenāt even had any time to work on my own stuff.
But the good news is thereās still plenty of time to enter So if youāre thinking about itā¦ make the commitment. Everyone will appreciate what you bring to the table
I have a project in mind, but I am not sure if it will be feasible to make it in time (personal time and shipping time). In case I enter, it will be to handmade category. But, again, it is something I will be able to tell in some weeks .
