Ok gang!

Here's the deal! I have a new product, (It's actually item #100 so if you haven't browsed the store recently, you should, it's been a very busy month!) but it doesn't have a name. Post a name that we actually use for this product and if it's used, I'll mail you a FREE Quickstart! This contest will run for a month, (or at least a few days if someone knocks me right out with their amazing suggestion)

Update: We have a name! The CogSled!


Watch the video video below for full details:
(Sorry about the long video, but there are several features that are covered)

The product can be purchased at: http://propellerpowered.com/shop/?page_id=1128
(We'll tell you what to call your new toy later.)

Thanks to JimC and MattG of Parallax for helping me take this idea into reality!

Jeff

    Why not just call it "The Backboard" similar to what EMTs use to keep the mess together for transport......

    How about "Kick Stand"
  • mindrobotsmindrobots Posts: 6,506
    edited 2012-11-01 17:00
    No pressure, Jeff, but if Propagator wins, I'll donate my winning QuickStart to Whit's Gatorbots and match them with a QS from my own stock. Plus a pair of Propagators.

    Not to influence voting during this election season!!

    I believe W9GFO pegged it with "Launchpad", but he should have put Quickstart in front, thus making it a "Quickstart Launchpad". This suggestion is for his entry.

    That makes sense. Thanks. The same concept could be used for other devices too.

    Being able to pick up and move your project around prototyping circuits, it reminds me of the old time rivet hoppers. Hence, it could be called the "Hopper" or "Prop-Hopper", a relatively unique name that reflects its mobility.
