Hi All,

Here's an idea, how about a Star Trek like Tricorder? It would be crazy tough (lots of different tech fields and medicine) but super nerdy, awesome and there are already some great prototypes out there. Plus if we're successful we can also win the star trek tricorder prize :)

Quick question about this hackerspace challenge thing.... what are the
terms?

I ask because Red Bull did a similar challenge a few years ago, and it
was actually kind of evil. They sent "kits" out and asked people to
build projects out of them. Most people did not realize that Red Bull
retained all the rights to all creations, and the only actual "prizes"
people got were things like red bull merchandise.

This might be different, but it's worth considering: read the fine
lines very closely, and make sure the company's brand (in this case,
radioshack) is something you are comfortable having associated with
your name :)
