Introducing:
Contest INCITE
[Internet Community-based Interactive Technology Environment]

Hey everyone!

So this is a project that a fellow team member and I were working on for work over the summer and we are really hoping for people's input and participation in the Contest as well...

Let me know what your thoughts on this are, please.

Thanks!

I'll be staying up until midnight Septenber 7th to be the first to register! My team absoluely loves 80/20, and this is a perfect way to (hopefully) win some cool stuff as well as practice our CAD skills.

Can we start designing before Registration, or will the online tools not be available until then?

I will be sure to get our team to participate in the contest, all of our robots use 80/20 extrusion so this will be great!

You can start designing as soon as you register and you can sign up for a VizSpace account even now and just play around with it, see what all it offers and what are the widgets available

Also, this is a great way to introduce new team members and minions to FIRST and CAD like software without the complicated learning ways

Hey guys!

The Contest is approaching soon and the company wants people to start signing up for personal VizSpace accounts. All you have to do is go to vizseek.com, click on the " >> Login to VizSpace " link and follow the instructions there. Once your VizSpace is created, you can start checking out the program and all the possibilities it creates.

This Contest is really a tremendous opportunity!

Thanks!
Susha

Will do!

By the way, I tried out 80/20edge, and it seemed a bit limited in what it could make. For example, I want to make a folding cart, but the program has no pivots. Is there a way to design more freely for this contest?

Hey everyone!

Here's the link for the contest to sign up.

http://www.vizseek.com/vizspace/View...B5&contestID=1

The dates have been pushed back an extra week due to some unforseen complications.

Please sign up!
This is a great opportunity to teach new members designing and a great way to win prizes. Also, it's something different to show to the judges.

Don't miss your chance!
