Has anybody received their Raspberry Pi yet?

I have a question: how do we get our prizes? [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-e49b323e-a1c5-479b-9344-149118b15c3a/3872.contentimage_5F00_2516.png:16:16]

I find this interesting. I've never seen so little turn out for a giveaway on Element14 before.

Here is my project: Zoltan Tamasi's Blog. My robot, presented in the provided blog it is partially portable, but not long enough. It has an external battery with 3500 mA what lasts around a half a day, but then I need it to charge it, so on the rest of the day I can't test my algorithms. It would be wonderful if I could program and test all day long, and charge the batteries during nighttime, this way, I could double my productivity time. Just like I described in my posts, I would love to combine my current robot with that robotic arm so that I could make a more complex robot, but for this I will need way more power than I have at my disposal right now, also I am thinking on using another Raspberry Pi just for the arm itself so both the battery pack and the starter kit pack it is more than welcome for me. Worst case scenario, I could always program the arm to pass the ball around.

Thank you for the occasion,

Zolti

Summer Days! Holidays, here I come! I promise myself this time round I am going to do it properly. I want to record all the memorable sights of my adventures during this summer holiday. I will need a really small waterproofed camera that can be strapped to, say my arm. It probably needs to take a photo at a regular interval. Maybe it also needs to record my GPS location so that I can geotag my photos. Makes it much easier to sort out the photo later. It will be awesome if there is a button which I can press to immediately take a geotagged photo and share it with my friends on Twitter! It will probably connect to the internet through the wifi hotspot on my phone. Of course with so much sun it will also be solar powered. If only such a device exists. I got it! I will build one. All I need now to start is Raspberry Pi. Fingers crossed...

I don't have a project on the go, but being able to have a portable data logger made from the Pi would be great. Maybe a few meteorological parameters like temperature, humidity, UV index, etc... would be nice to have all in one unit that doesn't require an internet or cell phone connection.

I am currently buliding a photo frame with my raspberry pi. It will be displaying pics from my social networking accounts. It will be displaying my loved ones, my friends. I am procuring a tft lcd screen for the same. It would be great if this project goes portable as then i would not have to stick the photo frame right next to a electric socket always. Also it would be great to move it to the place where you want without any restrictions...

I would like to use the RPi as an portable electronic housekeeper.

In these DIY Google Glass style enhanced reality goggles, portability is the most important part as they have to be wearable as well as functional. This portable starter kit would be great as it is minimised allowing the visual impact (and weight) to be reduced allowing these to be more wearable and user friendly. This currently involves a Raspberry Pi controlling displays wirelessly with voice recognition to control the display. This is the result of combining the Internet of Things with wearable tech. Plus we have (and are managing to stick to!) a budget of £100.

If you are interested in this, heading over to the link and giving us a vote would be amazing.
