Instructables.com is currently running a Hack It! Challenge and will be awarding a hacker workshop upgrade (an oscilloscope, bench supply and USB logic analyzer) to the best documented electronics hack. We are also currently running a contest to win a laser cutter that you would also be able to enter. If you have an awesome hack that you have been wanting to get around to, now might be a good time to start. The Hack it! Challenge is running until November 28th.
Let me know if you have any questions about the contest.
Part of the rules.....
"The Contest is open only to natural persons who, at the time of entry, are registered members of the Sponsor Site, are at least thirteen (13) years old, and are legal residents of the 50 United States (including the District of Columbia but excluding Puerto Rico), and Canada (excluding the Province of Quebec, Canada). "
We're working on opening it to the rest of the world. There is unfortunately a lot of lawyers involved at this time and we need to get permission country by country. That said, the Netherlands is high on our list.
Last week Instructables contests were only open to the US and Canada. Currently they are open to the US, Canada, the UK and Australia. We can only ship prizes to people in these countries at this time.
