  • Hi everyone, it's time to announce the winner of this year's Halloween contest and it is none other than  !  Tada

    Doug, your interpretation of the Boo In A Box theme resulted in a really original, innovative project. Incorporating the different aspects of the project, such as the legs and arms, into a relatively small form factor was very impressive. Plus, you documented the project well with plenty of images and a great video.

    Enjoy your prize! Gift
