Turkey Day SHOOTOUT Competition

[Perrow]

Funny as hell though! I'm still wiping tears from my eyes.

I must agree.

[Perrow]

I've been steadily working on Plan B, and I don't want you guys to think I'm loafing, so here's a pic of some progress.

And when you're done that, I want you to braid your sisters hair, and then knit me a sweater.

[garcho]

^ bravo!

my entry is coming later tonight

[Jdansti]

Bahaha!!!  Funny!!!

[haveyouseenhim]

^ bravo!

my entry is coming later tonight

I cant wait!!!  I was wondering if there was only going to be 3 entries 

[Jdansti]

I finally figured this $&<€{<~' PCB etching thing out. The layout software shows the PCB as if you're looking down through it - Duh!     There's no need to reverse the image (traces) before transferring it to the copper. The only thing I need to reverse is any text. I think I have one more try left in me...

[Ronan]

Keep at it Jon, you'll get it right this time. A person has never etched a pcb if they haven't done at least one mirror image.

I can finally see some light at the end of the tunnel for my project, thank goodness. Hopefully enter it in the comp early next week, if it doesn't blow up in the meantime.

And I see Pelle has outdone me on the braiding thing, there's no way I can do that to mine, the wires are all attached now...

Thanks!  If anything I'm persistent and I don't like giving in to problems.   Looking forward to seeing/hearing your project.

ATTENTION CONTESTANTS!!!!
Announcement time!  

First, we are currently sitting at 18 entries. This means that one of the lucky entrants will get $180 (minus shipping fees) in DIY store credit!!

That can buy a LOT of switches, sockets, transistors, whatever!!!

Second, this is how the winners will be announced and how the prizes will be selected/distributed.

After the competition deadline of November 22nd at 2359 EST, the timer starts for the judges. We will have ALL of the entries scored and results posted NLT November 30th at 2359 EST.

ALL of the 8 winners WILL BE posted at that time. They will be ranked according to their scores. At this point... accolades and praise can be awarded (and small jests of envy can be doled out  )

The overall winner -- or #1 --WILL HAVE 48 HOURS TO CONTACT ME VIA PM FOR PRIZE SELECTION Once the prize has been selected, the thread will be updated (as soon as possible... I gotta sleep sometime) with the remaining prizes. When the list of remaining prizes is posted, the  #2 winner will have 48 hours to contact me... and so on until ALL prizes have been awarded. The reasoning for the 48 hours is so that we do not run into Christmas time and still have people waiting for their prize.

Please..please..please ensure that you contact ME within the 48 hour period. If this will be a problem then you must contact ME before the 30th of November to explain so arrangements can be made in case you are chosen as a winner. If the 48 hour window is broken and I have not heard from you, then your position in the winners list will be lowered until I hear from you. Once again, this is not meant to be a punishment but, it is so that other contest winners are not on hold for an indefinite period of time.

Since the list of winners will be posted here, I will leave it up to the individual winner to contact Aron regarding the T-shirt.

Finally, this list will enable the prize givers to verify the winners. I WILL CONTACT THE PRIZE GIVERS TO INFORM THEM OF YOUR CHOICE. I will then leave it up to the prize giver to contact you/make arrangements for delivery via PM, email, etc.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE. 2 MORE WEEKS UNTIL TURKEYDAY!!

I've made two attempts at the video part of the documentation. Third time's the charm?

[Ronan]

Let's hope so Pelle...  the video part is something I'm not really looking forward to, but probably a lot of fun when its finished to a reasonable level of satisfaction.

[Jdansti]

Ok-Board etched and stuffed. Wife will be gone all day tomorrow, so I should be able to make good progress.

[markeebee]

^ I'll drop her back home around 10, ok?

[Jdansti]

^ Could you make it 11?   

[Ronan]

Can you pick mine up on the way through?
