Yes you read right, I will be sponsering a Gift Give Away for all members World Wide "Except where prohibited by law" of Robo Community. This Gift Give Away is very simple yet hard. I will be building something and posting a picture once or twice in a week of what I am building. Your job is to describe what the product is and how it works in complete detail before it is completed. I will have 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes to offer the first 3 people that has answered the project correctly and completly will win. I will not respond to your answer until the contest is complete. When PM'ing me Please enter your subject line as "GiveAway ANSWER" Yoda aka 4mem8 is not allowed to compete in this giveaway because he will be one of my judges, but that leaves everyone else to enter. Entries must reply via PM and not by posting, If cought posting your answer you will not win any prizes and I'll ask the moderators to remove your post. This project will be about electronics and programming, All data will be posted as well as the source code which will be posted last. So if you see the completed code then the Gift Give Away will be over.  Once over the winners will be posted and prizes will be shipped to them. Just to let you know it will take a good while to complete this project that I have been wanting do. Also this project will be copyrighted to protect my new invention in robotics. But members here at Robo Community are free to make their own if they wish with my permission first.

You also may ask questions but then again I may or may not answer them or give you a missdirected answer so beware. The winners of the prizes are responsable for shipping charges only and nothing more unless you are in the USA being the 48 lower states in which the shipping will be paid by me. I'm sorry for everyone overseas but that can be expensive for me and I hope you understand this, as this money will be comming from me and no one else.

 I am looking at around this week or next on starting this project so please subscribe to this thread so you get the E-mail that something has been posted to the thread first.

Now for the Prizes:

1st Prize : Radio Shack Digital Multimeter with 46 range and PC Interface an $80 Value

2nd Prize: A Hex Bug called DELTA and a ZipZaps mico RC Transformer Truck a $35.00 Value

3rd Prize: Electronics Projects for Dummies Book a $25.00 Value

Good luck and I hope everyone will enjoy this Gift Give Away.

Edit: Yoda aka[4mem8] has introduced his Give Away at TRC so please visit his game as well to win more prizes. His URL is http://forums.trossenrobotics.com/showthread.php?t=2342

Real cool Obi-one, This should be interesting, and Yoda [4mem8] being a judge as well, Nice prizes GW. This is along the same lines as the one I will also be doing on TRC forum but only 1 prize 1st place, Anyone can enter that as well except GWJax and Tyberius as they both know what I will be building.
GwJax's competition should be a lot of fun. so please members enter this, more the merrier.

This is only because Yoda is a judge..
Also the moderators and administrators can win the prizes as well since this is not sponsored by Robo Community. So yes Comander Pete you too can join in.

LOL yep thats what happens when you give a incorrect answer and in the improper way as well. One should not break the rules until one has the world under his control with his army of bots hehehe

So do you want to give another incorrect answer so we can knock you down to 8. lol

Nocturnal you can ask question but must start its a questions and not an answer. PM me with your answers and I'll repond to your PM YES or NO and How many Answers you have left. If My answer is YES you'll have to wait till the end to get the prize and if you blurb out the answer or any comment about what is it then you forfet the prize and it will move to the next one in line that answers it quickly. I hope this answers your question.

This is a real robot that has never been built before so yes it will be to my scale and yes its a real world object as all robots are.. but not a reproduction.

One more thing: you may ask as many questions that you want and it will not count against you. only answers will count against you if you get them wrong. Plus in your answer make sure you describe the function and how it works, the best answer wins the prizes.
