Another (fail-)compo? Really..?

Yes. Really.

Goal: make cool shit worthy for the gods of #electronics before the end of 2013.

How does it work?

Points 1-10 are awarded to each FINISHED entry, by each other contestant, for...

  • cunning use of low-cost material and processes (e.g. craftmanship)
  • usability IRL (e.g. logic analyser: good. Telepathic LED on/off: bad.)
  • innovativeness - e.g. is it a better version of an existing thing, or a new thing?
  • documentation (on this wiki!), e.g. is enough documentation present to reproduce this at home?
  • LOL-factor, and no, it's not considered good practice to post a pic of yourself.

The person whose entries gather the most points, overall, wins. Closing date is 2013-12-31.

What can I win?

Prize(s): each other contestant sends the winner something that's actually useful (sort of).

<michai> I send a bricked Toshiba AC100 and my working compo-entry/entries to the winner, including P'n'P

Status

(Will this ever be updated?)

( _plop a nice table here of contestants vs points for category_ )
