The Hack Like Heck Competition is a very unique experience. I'm immersed in it and I still don't have a good handle on it.

I agree - cash flow for material is often a limiting factor so the sponsored material aspect of the show is a dream come true.... I look forward to seeing your steroscopic system ideas on your blogs/vlogs…

thanks, I came close to acquiring a PCB printer last year, but a big 3D printer was more important at the time. I didn't anticipate a job like this where I couldn't accommodate the usual PCB build schedule.

The show is produced weekly so it is desirable to have a new project every week, however some builds are just too big for one week. Ben's team managed about 30 projects a year. The new show may have a different capacity, but weekly content is important if you want to build an audience that routinely follows the show.

Thanks,
It was tough to temper my enthusiasm with the realities of my circumstances, but the other contestants did a great job of stepping it up. I know from the all-nighters I put in that they demonstrated serious commitment.
