Hello Raspberry Pi Community!

We’re excited to share an amazing opportunity with you. Red Pitaya, a versatile open-source tool that complements Raspberry Pi by replacing many expensive lab instruments, is hosting a Reddit contest this July and August!

It's not exactly an earth shaking proposition:

Buy a product for about £300 (minimum).

Put a lot of work into a project.

Enter a competition with a first prize value of £72

Have I missed something ?

That is usually how these things work.

They are looking for free engineering apps.

I do not think so. My opinion is, that they target existing users while Element14/hackster contests usualy target new users. Purpose of this contest is that they want existing user to write publicly about their projects.

Crazy thing is that for a decade-old product, there doesn't seem to be any decent reviews (at least, not ones where the author did more than just a trivial review).

I think their existing customers are not the sort to write a review perhaps : ( maybe if they publish a project, it might be brief too..

Maybe I'm not the target customer, but no way would I purchase based on the strength of the current reviews (and it's not low-cost enough to take a gamble).
