The PopSci Build-a-BUG challenge is on
In the run up to releasing the BUG
SDK last week, we’ve been working with the kind folks at
Popular Science to launch our "Build a BUG" challenge. The basic
premise is this: if you can wow the Bug Labs and PopSci teams by
building an awesome virtual BUG device with Dragonfly, the BUG SDK, you
can win the grand prize of a BUGbase and the first batch of BUGmodules
(GPS, camera, touchscreen LCD, and motion sensor / accelerometer).
We want everyone to participate in the contest, programmers and
non-programmers alike, so we’re also opening up a second-prize
challenge. Think up a great BUGmodule that we haven’t thought of yet
and send us a detailed use case. The best entry will receive a special
BUG shirt, a PopSci shirt, and a one-year subscription to Popular
Science magazine.
The contest ends on February 15, 2008, and winners will be
announced on March 30, 2008. For full contest rules and regulations,
head over to the official Build-a-BUG challenge website. We’re looking forward to seeing what comes in!
