Robots anyone?

I might be an idiot here, feel free to laugh at me. I didn't see how to email Chris. No buttons for it on his profile. I just wanted to point him to the thread and let him see the community input.
Post a link to the Site Bugs/Suggestions Forum; those go directly to him.

Hey all :) Question for the masses from us robot geeks to the code geeks ;P We are from Trossen Robotics, an online community and store for hobby and research robotics. We have looked into donating robots in the past to the Code Project prize pools. We figured (A) What a great place to advertise to! Millions of techy geeks hang out there, wow. (B) Tech geeks should love robots right? After all, you have to program your robot to make it do stuff. So we wanted to ask straight up. Do you think that the Code Project crowd would dig winning robots in the monthly article contests? Is it an audience match or are we in the wrong sandbox? You are probably thinking, well, what KIND of robots??? Fair enough... Here are some cool projects that come out of our community, scroll down to see past winners. http://www.trossenrobotics.com/contest.aspx The bioloid kits are a good example for prizes. Here is our latest in house project Paintball Robot Turret. Oh, and we do some RFID stuff too, like this kind of kit that has Windows 7 login. Maybe this is something most coders would enjoy? RFID Experimenters Kit Lastly, here is a video our intern did about Robot Pioneers. So anyhow, just curious of everyone's thoughts. Cheers, Matt

Just a note to say thanks again for everyone's input. You guys spoke up and codeproject listened :) They added a new hardware section and contest with robots as the prizes. Check it out: http://www.codeproject.com/Competitions/441/Hardware-Competition.aspx[^] Time to start writing articles! Good luck!
