Contest INCITE

[SushaK]

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

Do you have to be a student to join the contest or is it open to anybody and everybody on the team?

[SushaK]

It can be anyone on the team but if your design happens to win, the prizes and the money will go to the team. How you disperse all that however is up to the team leader/main contact/adult mentor of that team

My team is definately doing this! We had an 80/20 demo van pay us a visit recently, and we agreed that we definately want to use more 80/20.
