Awesome Phil! Great use of a word balloon to alter the point of an unrelated picture. When we started using lithium AA batteries in volume at work, we had to initiate safety measures. I altered a Smokey the Bear picture to state "Only You can prevent Lithium Fires"

on with the naming! it's 12:01 already! (sorry Matt, just had to)
The judges felt that, although there were other very clever and appropriate names, "Madeusa" really describes one of our main directives here at Parallax.
This is exemplified by our commitment to doing as much design and fabrication as is possible, right here in the "good ol' USA". That's not to disparage any other country's technical capabilities - because like Ken said earlier, if we were in France, we'd say the same thing.
The added *Plus* is that the Full Robot Base Kit is Really Made Here in the USA.
Whit! You're the winner of a $100.00 Parallax Shopping Spree!
Congratulations!!! Everybody say "Yay Whit!"...

Congrats Whit! After I was looking through the list again last night, that was my favorite as well. Now we need to get Rick G. to make a tentacle kit for it!
MadeUSA was one of my favorites too! I'm big on made in USA. That's why I ride American iron and operate American radios.
Oh yea, and build with American micros!
Hey Matt, make sure it ships with a made in USA sticker the owner can apply.
MadeUSA is a great name. With a double meaning, I love it. I also agree that a set of tentacle add-on kits would be awesome! Come on Rick G and Ken! Make it happen!

I guess you're all expecting an announcement about who the Winner is?
Well, it all came down to (9) finalists. All nine were really, really good (No, I'm not going to tell you who the runner's-up were).
Of the nine finalists, there was one that stood out - well beyond any other...
Now, I could announce it right here.
Right now, on this Post.
But, I not going to for two reasons:
A) This is my 249th post, and I'd like the announcement to be accompanied by a little *fanfare* for my up-coming "Second Star" and
Announcement to be made @ 12:00 Noon Parallax Time.
Same Bot-time, same Bot-channel!
-Matt
Are you going to name the bot after the Whiner? Whiney Bot? Chief of Crankiness bot?

Gratz Whit!
Now when students tell you their robot is having a bad hair day, you'll know it's time to grab the mirror.
And by "Boe-Bot's successor", Ken means "Boe-Bot's brother"!

I will PM you the details to redeem your credit.
Gee!- You leave the computer for a bit and .....YIPEEE!
Thanks everybody!

r o f l o l !!!! - Congrats Whit!!
That's a great name you came up with.
I know you will put your prize to good use.

Answer - Knowing that if the prize had been $100 CASH - I would have spent it at Parallax anyway!
What's next, Matt?
But something will come to mind :-) ...and ideas are always welcome!
