I have a concept (and it’s a fun one) but I’m not really sure what to chose in terms of emitter, driver, optic to really make the project ahem shine. Is troubleshooting that and figuring it out on my own part of the challenge, or am I cool to seek guidance in my project thread, or elsewhere?

I think you can text the organizers (you could last year), ask here or make your build thread and see if people reply to it. Usually there is a good bit of interest
