Sorry guys, I didn't mean to open a can of worms here. I can see both sides, EZ Robot wanting to get a EZB into the hands of someone who cant afford one and the rest who worked hard building for the contest.

Personally, I was discouraged and frustrated I could not make an entry. I wanted to enter but like Richard I've been working steady these past few weeks on a full size arm for my B9. I'm not sure how I would have reacted to a plastic store bought Christmas Tree winning over a EZ Robot powered robot I've been working on for 3 years (if I would have entered and gotten beat of course). ;)

In the end it's all for fun and the judging talent and creativity is subjective anyway. We're all adults here (except for the kids:P ) and need to except the rules and winner. ;)

@Dave.... I am aware of what Aislin posted... However, I have (want) to believe it is implied that it is a robot that "we" create/program and/or make rather than just purchase and press the on button....

@Richard R,

I doubt any worries there. Also from the rules

It doesn't need to be EZ-B, but it needs to be creative.

Loving all the entries! There are still 5 days left in the contest so keep em' coming. It is great to hear all of your ideas as well. We really do want to focus on originality and creativity, and I know that there is no shortage of either in this community. This contest is meant for any robot platform, so the more the merrier! We all know that the ez-bv4 is the best, but for this contest we want to include everyone. For the most part the majority of the entries come from within the ezrobot community anyway!

We can definitely recognize entries that have put in an immense amount of effort- so don't feel it will go unnoticed. :D

Well, with a surprising amount of work and a rather long "honeydo" list, it looks like I won't be getting a video done for this holiday season.

I'll work on it as time allows and publish before next year's holiday, contest or not.

All my content is done, now it is being edited and sound effects added at a handful of points that really make wall-e personality:) Right now it is split into 8 different short videos but I certainly hope everyone loves it.
