MakerTron Design Contest
Sept. 4 - Oct. 15, 2015
Help Rebuild The MakerTron Robot Population!
The Challenge: Design C.O.R.E Extensions
Remix currently needs heads and limbs to mobilize the handful of C.O.R.E.s he has on his starship. The priority is to get these MakerTron C.O.R.E.s up and running so torso designs are not yet necessary. To kickstart the MakerTron re-population, design one or more of these robot parts:
- head
- arms
- legs
These parts must successfully interface with the MakerTron C.O.R.E.
Win These Prizes!
Design and submit a MakerTron body part for a chance to help the MakerTron rebuild and you could win $3800+ worth of incredible prizes!
