Take the NEW PiRack Connect Four Challenge for a chance to win a $275 Arduino Robot development kit!

 

We have exciting news for anyone working on Pi projects!

 

The element14 Community’s PiRack Connect Four Challenge is open for project submissions until October 18th, and we are offering you a chance to get started on your entry with a free PiRack! The winner will receive the Arduino Robot Development Kit. The winner will also receive the Connect Four board game, a vertical checkers game.

 

The PiRack is an expansion board that allows the connection of 4 I/O boards to the Raspberry Pi. It also enables the Pi Camera Module to be used at the same time as the expansion boards.

 

If you are interested in getting a free PiRack in exchange for entering the PiRack Connect Four Challenge, please respond to this post with an outline and description of your project idea. The element14 Community team will review the ideas and let you know if you are selected to receive a free PiRack.

 

When you are done building your project, please read the contest directions and blog about your idea here to officially enter the contest. 

 

 

Take advantage of this special opportunity to start your contest entry for free. Offer available while supplies last and we only have 25!

 

 

We look forward to seeing your creations!

    I'm building an automatic gate operator entirely from open source hardware. When I arrive near my home based on the car's GPS position, the Raspberry Pi activates the open logic without pressing any button. Question is how to open it from inside when leaving, but I think simply by turning the ignition the gate opens since I'm to go.

    The Arduino Robot I'd use to teach electronics to my kids through playing with it.

    Thanks,

    Tamas

    I think it would be fun to build a robotic test platform for the projects I work on.
