Not everyone buys reflectors 
thatās why i put reflectors down on the bottom of the list :smiling_imp:
Still pretty funny when you think about it, going low tech to assemble high tech components.
Canāt make an emitter from scratch. Could probably make the driver completely by hand, but then we could also carve round wheels out of stone for our carsā¦ Limited Lifetime Warranty (Potholes, Acts of God, and curbs excluded, User abuse not covered under factory warranty)
Some use a salad bowl.

What is VOB in
Hopefully the winner circle.
If time allows I may try something. Ideas abound; time aggravates!
As to dual category entries I think itās fine but winning should be limited to one category or the other so that somebody else has a chance too. DBSAR voluntarily sitting this year out shows great character :+1: and perhaps we might consider a one year post-win exclusion in that category on winners for the same reason (they could still build for the other category next year).
Even for spectators his is going to be fun

I disagree on both counts.
If DB wants to sit out to give others a shot that is noble I guess. I just hope it was his idea alone. Personally I would rather see him jump in. I also dont think we need a sit one out rule either. A win is a better win if you get it beating winners.
If I was in it to win it I would not be in it. I just love to see the absolute amazing lights created with whatever anyone has that would otherwise not ever see the light of day.
+1. I always prefer the champion to defend his title, but we have to support DBSARās decision.
Thatās the spirit! Even though this is a contest, it shouldnāt be taken too seriously. Modding is fun, and so shall also this contest beā¦ 
Every participant will be a winner!
Iām trying to gather enough prizes so that everyone finishing their build in time will get a prize. Thanks to our generous sponsors we already have quite many great prizes, but we having more would be niceā¦ Feel free to step in if you want to sponsor this contest by donating something. (Flashlights, host kits, components, gift cards, ā¦ Anything goes!)
Iāve seen where having a known unbeatable winner entering caused a lack of participation before. IMHO Itās not nearly a much fun racing for second place knowing you canāt possibly win which is why I mentioned the thought. As the idea seems unpopular Iāll withdraw my proposal.
If you open a category for the ugliest soldering work or ugliest member I know I can win that but somehow I doubt it would be very interesting to most folks and it would be a questionable accolade I might not want anyhow. Some questions are better left un-asked
Phil
I reckon Iām in the running for ugliest soldering. Ugliest hostā¦ Iāll wear that if it performs well :laughing:
5 days to go bump. Getting an itch I canāt scratch.
