Is it contest time again?

[Guardians of the analog]

How about a contest where people build a pedal that they actually want to use and make it not a henious mess. The problem with the contest is that we are tasked with picking the least offensive disaster and celebrate mediocrity with participation trophies. I love y'all I just don't know how to show it properly

I would love to be a judge though

I vote for the haters build thread. Must submit a build to enter. No entry, no hating. Then just rag the shit out of everyone's crap builds.

So you're trying to force me out of retirement

Sifting through this thread, we have about 5 of you with general interest in some sort of non-hating contest.

Anybody else interested in hosting or participating in a contest?

This never ends well… we all know it… but yet we all want it….

 

[t1redhands]

I like a challenge

 

[drgonzo1969]

Maybe open format contest where we all “go build something”…. Best build wins

Anybody willing to host or be a co-judge? Timing is a bit of an issue for me, but I can help kick something off and help judge. @Cybercow has offered up some pedal goodies as a prize.

Cybercow should be one of the judges, since he's offering up prizes.

^Looks to me like you don’t want to participate

Well, not in the expected way, but rest assured GOTA will participate.




I'll participate, but miss the deadline for completion and then let my idea languish for some future date when I finally might get around to maybe ...

SQUIRREL !

... at least I'm consistent in these contests.

Sign me the hell up. Burnt wire, singed caps, and at least one pad where I had to remove and reinstall something a couple times? Im shoe in to bring up the rear.

I would participate under one condition... @Robert finishes the CH-1 and releases it to the people. That's my one stipulation.

 

[Cybercow]

I may participate in a contest submission, (depending on its nature), but as potentially a judge and/or prize contributor, I would exempt myself from being a winner at any level. Curious to learn what the contest turns out to be. I'm tapped out for ideas.

Will this contest have a linked mouser cart?
Asking for a friend.

 

[Locrian99]

I might be interested, just depends on time when its out.

 

[finebyfine]

I’d be interested in, and in no way because I just finished a build of one, a discrete op amp pedal contest

It could be like the Oscars, and have several categories...
We could call the awards the Robbies, with categories such as:

• Most original use of a $5 diode in a 1590LB enclosure
• Best YATS in a supporting role
• Best original enclosure design for a shit build
• Best foreign language PCB
• Best editing for a PPCB demo (likely a straight gift to @MichaelW )
• Best use of a buffer in a non-leading role
• ...

Help me out here... And Happy 4th of July!

You're just going to go and get it started again today, aren't you?
