quick question:
Why is there only a builders contest for people who use the SX chip?
What about people that use the propeller and Basic Stamp?
Don't we deserve a chance to win some prize money also?

    Henry,

    Yes, you do!

    Okay, we'll start a contest.

    Really, the only reason we don't have one is that they take a lot of effort to set up, administer, etc. But we'll make it happen for the Propeller in 2008.

    Skill's USA would give you thousands of eager designers building competitions locally so that they could compete at their state level and then win a trip to Kansas for the national competition.·

    Many of the schools already own a BOE-Bot and use it as a training tool for the Robotics competitions, so the product is already in place.· The next step would be for Parallax to sponsor a competiton and establish the criteria for the competitors.

    The Propeller is perfect for a new contest. It is so versatile that most everyone can come up with something different.
