Re: Contest INCITE

So all you have to do is sign up for free, use the a browser based CAD program that allows a user to create 3D designs using 80/20 extrusions, panels, piece parts, and accessories. The design has to be for material handling/something you need for your team - carts, pit, shelving unit, table, etc.

The contest will be graded on creativity, following the rules (not going over the limit, only right angles, using the program, etc.), and design complexity. All designs have to have the Bill Of Materials add up to at most $1000. The BOM is actually displayed in the program as you use it so you know right away how much you are spending. And if you win you can get the already made parts for your design for free, all you'll need to do is assemble it.

More info and an Actual Contest Thread will be coming soon
