Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enter the contest?
Download the Open R/C Contest Design to see where the holes are to insert accessories. Create 1 or more accessories to fit into the R/C Design and Upload them to Pinshape and make sure to check the “Submit this model to Open R/C Accessory Design Contest!” box on the upload form.
Keep in mind though, we are looking for designs that will be compatible with the Open R/C F1 design, so almost any existing design will need to be modified.
What kind of files can I submit for the challenge?
We accept .STL, .MCX, .AMF, .3MF, .DXF, .IGES, .DWG, .STEP, .ACIS, .OBJ, .FORM, .PDF, .DOCX, .TXT and .ZIP files. You can submit up to a max of 150 files and 25 photos (this is photos of the design not files for the design). 100MB is the maximum total file size.
What happens to my design if I win?
You will keep ownership of the design and it will remain available to everyone in the Pinshape community to enjoy!
Can I submit designs I’ve made available on other sites or for other contests?
Yes you can. If it isn’t on Pinshape yet and it is something you’ve designed, it’s fair game!
Do I still own my designs when I post them?
Of course! We will never take over control of your work, we’re on your side.
When/how will the winners be announced?
The winner will be announced in the week following the end of the contest, in a post on the Pinshape blog. If you’re a winner, you’ll be contacted directly by the Pinshape team.
