I think mainly it's just at a bad time. I mean it's summer and I'm only
getting like 5 e-mails a day from the list and personally I've just been
busy.
Just to let everyone know I'm going to whip up a floor washing bot to
clean to floor in my room because it just gets really dirty and I have to
clean it all the time so why not just have a robot do it. It just uses
wheels (not very innovative) but like LEM I'm going to try to gain my
loses up on the Aesthetics and Coolness categories.
>Now people are talking about the *next* contest already.. What's up with
>that?!?!
I think it's good to throw around ideas. Personally I didn't really like
the theme "Most Innovative Form of Motion" It's a really tricky thing
because over the years a LOT of things have been done so it's hard to
come up with anything new. Also having to make a video and send it off
(if you don't have a digital camera with video) will discourage a lot of
people???
My idea for the next contest.... Most useful bot (cleaning floors,
washing windows, mowing your yard, getting you a soda...)
Well better go finish up my floor washer. Laterz
