March 25th is Arduino Day 2023! What Should We Do for Our Annual Arduino Project Competition?

How about an escape room prop? A phone, touchtone or dial, that must have a specific number dialed to hear a recorded message. Or a series of button presses, switches, and things plugged in in the correct order (or unplugged) to accomplish a task like launching a rocket or disarming a bomb.

Or something else.

Wow. Really? A downvote? How odd.

Do not worry about downvote. Here on Element14 very few members use downvotes and in most cases downvote happens when user want to upvote on mobile and nearby tiny button is clicked instead. You idea looks good. I think it is this case. I added you upvote for neutralizing it.

I love the idea of making something that serves to play and have fun.

Almost definitely an accident by someone, or a newcomer. As a user of the site for many years, personally I don't know any regular user who would ever downvote, it's so rarely seen,it would be an accident (most likely on the mobile app) if they ever did it.

For sure. On my iPhone the 3 buttons together are smaller than my fingertip  

I would take it with a grain of salt.   I too have clicked the wrong button on mobile.  Personally,  Im not a fan of fan of downvoting but that’s just more a preference than an objection. What I got from your comment was that a lot of people liked your idea.   I see it along the same lines as automation and it gives a unique perspective so just grateful you shared your idea.   I also liked Doug’s idea on ease of implementation.  Every time we do one of these contests its like a jigsaw puzzle and the more feedback we get the more helpful it is in delivering what you guys want to do.
