    Wouldn't that be awesome!

    It was pretty hard getting the defense department to spring for a contest. The money isn't the issue. When we briefed the success of micromedic, the bureaucrat types were so freaked out that there were two informal audits because they couldn't believe we didn't do anything wrong (though everything was in order). I don't know why, but some are reflexively apprehensive about contests. We did get an awesome return on the money and I'd like to do another contest.

    The next one probably won't be a microcontroller contest, it might be mobile device, robot or something else. My guess - 18 months to 2 years if we can convince someone to do it.

    2 years is better than nothing :)!

    Maybe by then I will get a project up and running that I could enter into the contest....

    Would this be easier to do through DARPA or a non-defense agency such as the NIH?
