&lt;p style="border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc;margin:0;padding:3px 0px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RoadTest FAQs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:26px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;1. What is a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The element14 RoadTest is a product review program administered by the element14 Community.&amp;nbsp;It is a review based on actual testing and experiments. RoadTests go beyond subjective web reviews by providing an objective opinion about a product&amp;#39;s quality, ease of use, documentation, and performance. Beyond a simple &amp;ldquo;star&amp;rdquo; review, a RoadTest is a detailed review that shares &amp;quot;the experience of the product&amp;quot; through videos, charts, screenshots, tables, graphs, and other multimedia. A roadtest is not necessarily a project where&amp;nbsp;the goal is to build new prototype or discover a new application for the product; rather, the primary focus of a roadtest is to review the product (i.e., Does it work? Is the documentation useful? Is it easy to use?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RoadTest applicants &lt;strong&gt;compete&lt;/strong&gt; to receive a RoadTest product. Applicants undergo extensive pre-screening by the element14 RoadTest Program Manager prior to selection to ensure the best qualified and most reliable applicants are chosen as official roadtesters. Once the Roadtest Program Manager selects the official roadtesters, they will be notified by email. The product or kit is shipped to the roadtesters at no charge. Roadtesters keep the product after they publish a review on element14. The Roadtesters have 60-days from receipt of the product to perform testing and write a review on element14.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;2. Who can apply for a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;Any element14 member can apply to a RoadTest. If you are not a member, go &lt;a href="/" data-e14adj="t"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to register.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;3. How much does a RoadTest cost?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;For members of the element14 community, there is no charge to participate in the RoadTest program.&amp;nbsp;However, the program is supported by the sponsors of the program. Without their financial support, the program would not exist in its present form. This is why each review is important to the entire program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;4. How long do I have to complete a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;You have 60 days from the receipt of the product to complete the RoadTest and submit your review.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;5. Do you provide the test equipment for me to RoadTest the product?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;While element14 provides the product to be RoadTested, it does not provide the test equipment to perform the testing. the roadtest applicant must have the main resources the complete a review. On a case by case basis, the RoadTest program Manager has provide complementary parts to enhance a roadtest. Examples would include a cable, an expansion word, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;6. What do I need to deliver to you to show I completed the RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;You need only complete a RoadTest review and post it on the element14 Community website. The RoadTest Program Manager tracks the roadtest reviews and monitors when they are posted. Moreover, the RoadTest Program Team conducts follow up emails over the course of the roadtest to ensure the roadtest is on track and can be delivered in the 60-day timeframe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;7. Is there a limit to the number of RoadTests for which I can apply?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;There is no limit to the number of RoadTests for which you can apply. However, The RoadTest Program Manager tries to limit the number of reviews that a member can be working on. He attempts to follow the one-review-at-a-time rule.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;8. How will my RoadTest Review be used? Who will read it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;RoadTests reviews are available for anyone to read on the element14 Community website. They will be read by community members, potential customers, the manufacturer, and other interested parties. The sponsor of the product eagerly waits and reads all the reviews of their product. If they have a questions, the roadtester will be contacted by the RoadTest Program Manager.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;9. How will I know I have been selected to RoadTest the product for which I applied?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;The RoadTest Program Manager will contact you when you are selected. You do not need to contact the Program Manager. We will reach out to the selected finalists on the element14 community for additional information, as well as to confirm their interest in participating. Failure to respond to this message will result in your application being eliminated, and we will chose another participant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;10. What do I do if I am not selected as a RoadTester?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;This question can be answered in several ways. If you are asking what can you do about a roadtest that you were not selected for, the answer is nothing for that roadtest. You may want to review your application entry form and ask yourself how you could have made it a more persuasive entry. Keep on trying by applying to other roadtests. Moreover, another thing you can do is participate in other programs on the element14 community, which typically earn you participation points which the RoadTest Program manager looks at during the selection process. The final thing you can do is to log into the element14 community frequently. Members who are logging into the community frequently and more often selected as roadtesters than those who do not. Roadtests are an activity of element14. Hence, it is a program for members who want to participate in our community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;11. If I am selected as a RoadTester, can I keep the product I tested?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;Yes. That&amp;#39;s the great benefit of being a participant in the RoadTest program. You get the product for free in exchange for your objective feedback.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;12. What happens if I don&amp;#39;t provide a RoadTest review?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;Some RoadTesters are unable to provide a review for a variety of reasons. If you are a RoadTester and you are unable to complete the review, please contact the RoadTest Program Manager&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-weight:bold;"&gt;as soon as possible&lt;/span&gt; so he is aware of your situation. We may be able to offer you a solution, including additional time if necessary. If you do not provide a RoadTest Review within 60 Days and you do not contact us regarding your situation, you may be barred from participating in any future RoadTest.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;13. Will I receive a Badge for my RoadTest review or application?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;We have introduced rewards for applying for a RoadTest! You&amp;#39;ll receive a number of points for applying for the RoadTest, upon successful completion of a RoadTest review once you&amp;#39;ve received your hardware, you&amp;#39;ll be awarded with points and a badge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;14.&amp;nbsp;Are there any restrictions on countries or nationalities who can apply?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;Typically, our roadtests are global. So, they are not restricted. However, on rare occasions, a product can only operate in a specific region of the world. For those roadtests we would either limit it to a region or strive to get a version that can operate in other regions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We would like to know your work status because it gives us an understanding of your availability to conduct the roadtest and publish a review. If you have a fulltime engineering job, travel frequently, or are a fulltime student, we assume you have very a busy schedule. Please indicate that you indeed have the time for this roadtest. All other questions must be selected or answered. If you are currently a RoadTester, all reviews must be posted before you are given another product to review. element14 does not provide everything to conduct a roadtest. You need to have the resources (test equipment, soldering stations, electrical hardware) to conduct the roadtest. On rare occasions, RoadTesters have requested additional products to be added to the roadtest. If this makes sense to include, we try to update the kit prior to shipping. Contact the RoadTest Program Manager with additional requests. You must agree to our terms and conditions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;The element14 RoadTest program is a product review administered by the element14 Community.&amp;nbsp;It is a review based on actual testing and experiments. RoadTests go beyond subjective web reviews by providing an objective opinion about a product&amp;#39;s quality, ease of use, documentation, and performance. Beyond a simple &amp;ldquo;star&amp;rdquo; review, a RoadTest is a detailed review that shares &amp;quot;the experience of the product&amp;quot; through videos, charts, screenshots, tables, graphs, and other multimedia. A RoadTest is not necessarily a project where&amp;nbsp;the goal is to build new prototype or discover a new application for the product; rather, the primary focus of a RoadTest is to review the product (i.e., Does it work? Is the documentation useful? Is it easy to use?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;RoadTest applicants &lt;strong&gt;compete&lt;/strong&gt; to receive a RoadTest product. Applicants undergo extensive pre-screening by the element14 RoadTest Program Manager prior to selection to ensure the best qualified and most reliable applicants are chosen as official RoadTesters. Once the RoadTest Program Manager selects the official RoadTesters, they will be notified by email. The product or kit is shipped to the RoadTesters at no charge. RoadTesters keep the product after they publish a review on element14. The RoadTesters have 60-days from receipt of the product to perform testing and write a review on element14.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;2. Who can apply for a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;element14 Community members only. If you are not a member, &lt;a href="/user/createuser?ReturnUrl=%2Flogout" data-e14adj="t"&gt;click here to register&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;For members of the element14 community, there is no charge to participate in the RoadTest program.&amp;nbsp;However, the program is supported by the sponsors of the program. Without their financial support, the program would not exist in its present form. This is why each review is important to the entire program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

How long do I have to complete a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;You have 60 days from the receipt of the product to complete the RoadTest and submit your review.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Do you provide the test equipment for me to RoadTest the product?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;While element14 provides the product to be RoadTested, it does not provide the test equipment to perform the testing. The RoadTest applicant must have the main resources the complete a review. On a case by case basis, the RoadTest program Manager has provide complementary parts to enhance a roadtest. Examples would include a cable, an expansion daughter board, etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;6. What do I need to deliver to you to show I completed the RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;You need only complete a RoadTest review and post it on the element14 Community website. The RoadTest Program Manager tracks the RoadTest reviews and monitors when they are posted. Moreover, the RoadTest Program Team conducts follow up emails over the course of the RoadTest to ensure the review is on track and can be delivered in the 60-day timeframe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Is there a limit to the number of RoadTests for which I can apply?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;There is no limit to the number of RoadTests for which you can apply. However, The RoadTest Program Manager tries to limit the number of reviews that a member can concurrently be working on.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

How will my RoadTest Review be used? Who will read it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;RoadTests reviews are available for anyone to read on the element14 Community website. They will be read by community members, potential customers, the manufacturer, and other interested parties. The sponsor of the product eagerly waits and reads all the reviews of their product. If they have a questions, the RoadTester will be contacted by the RoadTest Program Manager.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

How will I know I have been selected to RoadTest the product for which I applied?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;The RoadTest Program Manager will contact you when you are selected.

&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;This question can be answered in several ways. If you are asking what can you do about a RoadTest that you were not selected for, the answer is nothing. You may want to review your application entry form and ask yourself how you could have made it a more persuasive entry. Keep on trying by applying to other RoadTests. Another thing you can do is participate in other programs on the element14 Community, which typically earn you participation points which the RoadTest Program Manager looks at during the selection process. The final thing you can do is to log into the element14 Community frequently. Members who are logging into the community frequently and more often selected as RoadTesters than those who do not. RoadTests are an activity of element14. Hence, it is a program for members who want to participate in our community.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;Ever so often, RoadTesters are unable to provide a review for a variety of reasons.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;Typically, our roadtests are global. So, they are not restricted.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;The element14 RoadTest program is a product review administered by the element14 Community.&amp;nbsp;It is a review based on actual testing and experiments. RoadTests go beyond subjective web reviews by providing an objective opinion about a product&amp;#39;s quality, ease of use, documentation, and performance. Beyond a simple &amp;ldquo;star&amp;rdquo; review, a RoadTest is a detailed review that shares &amp;quot;the experience of the product&amp;quot; through videos, charts, screenshots, tables, graphs, and other multimedia. A RoadTest is not necessarily a project where&amp;nbsp;the goal is to build new prototype or discover a new application for the product; rather, the primary focus of a RoadTest is to review the product (i.e., Does it work? Is the documentation useful? Is it easy to use?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;RoadTest applicants &lt;strong&gt;compete&lt;/strong&gt; to receive a RoadTest product. Applicants undergo extensive pre-screening by the element14 RoadTest Program Manager prior to selection to ensure the best qualified and most reliable applicants are chosen as official RoadTesters. Once the RoadTest Program Manager selects the official RoadTesters, they will be notified by email. The product or kit is shipped to the RoadTesters at no charge. RoadTesters keep the product after they publish a review on element14. The RoadTesters have 60-days from receipt of the product to perform testing and write a review on element14.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;2. Who can apply for a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;element14 Community members only. If you are not a member, go &lt;a href="/user/createuser" data-e14adj="t"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to register. In the upper right hand portion of your browser there will be a &lt;span style="background-color:#008000;"&gt;green Register&lt;/span&gt; button.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;3. How much does a RoadTest cost?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;For members of the element14 community, there is no charge to participate in the RoadTest program.&amp;nbsp;However, the program is supported by the sponsors of the program. Without their financial support, the program would not exist in its present form. This is why each review is important to the entire program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;4. How long do I have to complete a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;You have 60 days from the receipt of the product to complete the RoadTest and submit your review.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;5. Do you provide the test equipment for me to RoadTest the product?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;While element14 provides the product to be RoadTested, it does not provide the test equipment to perform the testing. The RoadTest applicant must have the main resources the complete a review. On a case by case basis, the RoadTest program Manager has provide complementary parts to enhance a roadtest. Examples would include a cable, an expansion daughter board, etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;6. What do I need to deliver to you to show I completed the RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;You need only complete a RoadTest review and post it on the element14 Community website. The RoadTest Program Manager tracks the RoadTest reviews and monitors when they are posted. Moreover, the RoadTest Program Team conducts follow up emails over the course of the RoadTest to ensure the review is on track and can be delivered in the 60-day timeframe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;7. Is there a limit to the number of RoadTests for which I can apply?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;There is no limit to the number of RoadTests for which you can apply. However, The RoadTest Program Manager tries to limit the number of reviews that a member can concurrently be working on.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

How will my RoadTest Review be used? Who will read it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;RoadTests reviews are available for anyone to read on the element14 Community website. They will be read by community members, potential customers, the manufacturer, and other interested parties. The sponsor of the product eagerly waits and reads all the reviews of their product. If they have a questions, the RoadTester will be contacted by the RoadTest Program Manager.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

How will I know I have been selected to RoadTest the product for which I applied?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;The RoadTest Program Manager will contact you when you are selected.

&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thank you for your interest in applying for an element14 RoadTest.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; While the RoadTest application is both simple and brief, it requires some effort, planning, and strategy to write a winning application. This document will give you some tips on how to&amp;nbsp;write the RoadTest entry form so you have a better chance of being selected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;This article will walk you through the process of writing and completing the roadtest entry form. It will also highlight the most important parts of the entry form.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;To begin, you must be an element14 member to apply to a roadtest. If you are not a member, go &lt;a href="/user/createuser?ReturnUrl=%2Flogout" data-e14adj="t"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to register.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;Once you have logged into the element14 Community, go to the &lt;a href="/products/roadtest#pifragment-3767=6&amp;amp;pifragment-3768=6&amp;amp;pifragment-3769=6&amp;amp;pifragment-3771=6" data-e14adj="t"&gt;RoadTest &amp;amp; Reviews&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;group, which lists the RoadTests that are currently open for enrollment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;Click on a RoadTest that you would like to apply for. When the page loads, you will see the following on the righthand side of the page:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;&lt;img loading="lazy" alt="image" style="max-height:310px;max-width:184px;"  height="310" src="/e14/assets/main/2021/roadtests/enroll.PNG" width="184" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;Click the enroll button, and the &amp;quot;e14 entry Form&amp;quot; will load. This is the form you must complete to apply to a specific RoadTest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;General Instructions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Answer all questions. Incomplete entry forms are ineligible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. All questions highlighted with a red asterisk must be completed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Describe Your Technical Background: Answer this question relative to the roadtest product(s) and describe what knowledge and experience you possess that makes you qualified to test this product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Summarize Your Test Procedure: Write a 100-word summary of your detailed test procedure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Upload a long-form, detailed test procedure using the Supplementary File feature of this form.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. At the bottom of the form, click the blue Publish/Update button. You will get a popup box indicating that your application entry form has been included in our application database.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please provide your first and last name, which are required to ship a product to you. Please write your name as it appears in your element14 Profile. Please use the email address of your account.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please provide your shipping address. We only ship to addresses that are listed in your element14 account. We do not ship to random addresses. We do not ship with instructions to leave outside house or apartment. If you have moved, please update your address listed in your element14 profile.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We would like to know your work status because it gives us an understanding of your availability to conduct the roadtest and publish a review. If you have a fulltime engineering job, travel frequently, or are a fulltime student, we assume you have very a busy schedule. Please indicate that you indeed have the time for this roadtest. All other questions must be selected or answered. If you are currently a roadtester, all reviews must be posted before you are given another product to review. element14 does not provide everything to conduct a roadtest. You need to have the resources (test equipment, soldering stations, electrical hardware) to conduct the roadtest. On rare occasions, roadtesters have requested additional products to be added to the roadtest. If this makes sense to include, we try to update the kit prior to shipping. Contact the RoadTest Program Manager with additional requests. You must agree to our terms and conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table border="0"&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THIS SECTION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A ROADTEST ENTRY FORM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both the RoadTest Program Manager and the sponsor place the most weight on the above questions. An applicant should be as detailed as possible when answering these questions. The most detailed answers tend to get the most attention. We want to know your technical background specific to the roadtest product. We would like you to provide a 100-word summary of your detailed test procedure. A summary could be as simple as &amp;quot;Use the Raspberry Pi in a home automation security system I am building.&amp;quot; You can expand on that summary in the external MS Word document will be uploaded as a&amp;nbsp;Supplementary File. The uploaded test procedure should be written as a project plan/proposal. Some RoadTests may only warrant a 200-300 proposal. But for complex RoadTests (e.g. spectrum analyzer), the detailed test plan can be up to 2000 words. If you do not provide a detailed test procedure, your entry form will be ranked as ineligible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please provide your first and last name, which are required to ship a product to you. Please write your name as it appears in your element14 Profile. Please use the email address of your account.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please provide your shipping address. We only ship to addresses that are listed in your element14 account. We do not ship to random addresses. We do not ship with instructions to leave outside house or apartment. If you have moved, please update your address listed in your element14 profile.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We would like to know your work status because it gives us an understanding of your availability to conduct the roadtest and publish a review. If you have a fulltime engineering job, travel frequently, or are a fulltime student, we assume you have very a busy schedule. Please indicate that you indeed have the time for this roadtest. All other questions must be selected or answered. If you are currently a roadtester, all reviews must be posted before you are given another product to review. element14 does not provide everything to conduct a roadtest. You need to have the resources (test equipment, soldering stations, electrical hardware) to conduct the roadtest. On rare occasions, roadtesters have requested additional products to be added to the roadtest. If this makes sense to include, we try to update the kit prior to shipping. Contact the RoadTest Program Manager with additional requests. You must agree to our terms and conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THIS SECTION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A ROADTEST ENTRY FORM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both the RoadTest Program Manager and the sponsor place the most weight on the above questions. An applicant should be as detailed as possible when answering these questions. The most detailed answers tend to get the most attention. We want to know your technical background specific to the roadtest product. We would like you to provide a 100-word summary of your detailed test procedure. A summary could be as simple as &amp;quot;Use the Raspberry Pi in a home automation security system I am building.&amp;quot; You can expand on that summary in the external MS Word document will be uploaded as a&amp;nbsp;Supplementary File. The uploaded test procedure should be written as a project plan/proposal. Some RoadTests may only warrant a 200-300 proposal. But for complex RoadTests (e.g. spectrum analyzer), the detailed test plan can be up to 2000 words. If you do not provide a detailed test procedure, your entry form will be ranked as ineligible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thank you for your interest in applying for an element14 RoadTest.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; While the RoadTest application is both simple and brief, it requires some effort, planning and strategy to write a winning application. This document will give you some tips on how to&amp;nbsp;write the Roadtest entry form so you have a better chance of being selected&amp;nbsp;as an official Roadtester.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;This article will walk you through the process of writing and completing the roadtest entry form. It will also describe what is the most important part of the entry form.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;To begin, you must be an element14 member to apply to a roadtest. If you are not a member, go &lt;a href="/user/createuser?ReturnUrl=%2Flogout" data-e14adj="t"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to register.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;Once you have logged into the element14 community, go to the &lt;a href="/products/roadtest#pifragment-3767=6&amp;amp;pifragment-3768=6&amp;amp;pifragment-3769=6&amp;amp;pifragment-3771=6" data-e14adj="t"&gt;RoadTest &amp;amp; Reviews group&lt;/a&gt; of element14, which lists the roadtests open for enrollment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;Click on a roadtest that you want to apply for. When the page loads, you will see the following on the righthand side of the page:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;You must be logged into the element14 community to write a review.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;You have completed the testing and evaluation portion of the RoadTest. Congratulations! Now is the time to report on your findings and write the review. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like RoadTest applications, reviews are easy to write. Since your RoadTest review will be read by fellow element14 Community members, potential customers, and the manufacturer of the product you just Road Tested, it is important that you write a review that everyone enjoys to read. Here are some tips on how to write a RoadTest Review that will be both informative, clear, and enjoyable to read.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#007fac;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding:18px 0px 6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px;"&gt;What is the Purpose of a RoadTest Review?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;Road Tests go beyond a traditional product review. They are deep dives into the technical operation, programming and performance of the product. Simply giving your opinion about the product would not provide the deep analysis that is an inherent part of a RoadTest. To fully capture what you tested and how you derived your professional opinion, we would like you to provide the reader a detailed account of your test and evaluation of the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#007fac;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding:18px 0px 6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px;"&gt;What Information Should Be Included In A Review?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;Like most technical reports, it helps to provide a brief summary of your RoadTest and what you concluded about the product. You should also tell us what you did with the product.&lt;br /&gt;Images, charts, graphs, screenshots and videos are excellent supporting materials that make your review an interesting piece of content. A comprehensive commentary is also part of a good RoadTest review. Observations on how the product worked under a certain set of conditions should also be included. You should express your professional opinion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;If your experience with the product was positive give the reader some examples to support your opinion. Conversely, if you feel the product has shortcomings, tell the reader why you think this is so. Be objective as you can.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#007fac;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding:18px 0px 6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px;"&gt;Tips for Writing a Great RoadTest Review&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:8px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Write a Great Summary:&lt;/strong&gt; If you have a long review or one that covers multiple blog posts, make sure you summarize your current findings. If you have a three-post review, always summarize the previous posts (e.g. on the third post, summarize your findings from the first and second posts as well). This helps the reader capture your conclusions quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:8px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Use Lots of Visuals:&lt;/strong&gt; There is an old saying that &amp;ldquo;a picture is worth a thousand words.&amp;rdquo; It is as true today as it was when first coined. A RoadTest Review that has great visuals makes it interesting. By adding them to your review, readers will realize you put a lot of effort into your review. They will appreciate it and take the time to read your entire review or even make comments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:8px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Be Objective, Not Emotional:&lt;/strong&gt; RoadTest reviews are quite unlike novels or movies where you get emotionally caught up with the story. A good review is objective and provides supporting evidence of your opinion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:8px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Show, Don&amp;#39;t Tell:&lt;/strong&gt; Show the reader what you did. Show a photo of your testing platform. Provide the reader with screenshots of a section of your code. Avoid skimming over the details.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:8px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Be Fair and Authentic:&lt;/strong&gt; When you offer your professional opinion about the product, make sure it is reasonable, objective and fair. When you sound authentic, you will come off as being more credible. With earned credibility, you will be considered a trustworthy source for more RoadTests. You will also build your standing within the element14 Community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:8px;"&gt;6. &lt;span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Read and Imitate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;: Start reading roadtest reviews. After you read about 5 or 10 of them, you will understand what should be included in a review.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#007fac;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding:18px 0px 6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px;"&gt;Examples of Good RoadTest Reviews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;When you read them, you&amp;rsquo;ll notice they are detailed, interesting, and contain a lot of supporting materials.&amp;nbsp; You can understand why the RoadTester was chosen to test the product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;You must be logged into the element14 community to write a review.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:26px;"&gt;You have completed the testing and evaluation portion of the RoadTest. Congratulations! Now is the time to report on your findings and write the review. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like RoadTest applications, reviews are easy to write. Since your RoadTest review will be read by fellow element14 Community members, potential customers, and the manufacturer of the product you just Road Tested, it is important that you write a review that everyone enjoys to read. Here are some tips on how to write a RoadTest Review that will be both informative, clear, and enjoyable to read.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#007fac;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding:18px 0px 6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px;"&gt;What is the Purpose of a RoadTest Review?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;Road Tests go beyond a traditional product review. They are deep dives into the technical operation, programming and performance of the product. Simply giving your opinion about the product would not provide the deep analysis that is an inherent part of a RoadTest. To fully capture what you tested and how you derived your professional opinion, we would like you to provide the reader a detailed account of your test and evaluation of the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#007fac;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding:18px 0px 6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px;"&gt;What Information Should Be Included In A Review?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;Like most technical reports, it helps to provide a brief summary of your RoadTest and what you concluded about the product. You should also tell us what you did with the product.&lt;br /&gt;Images, charts, graphs, screenshots and videos are excellent supporting materials that make your review an interesting piece of content. A comprehensive commentary is also part of a good RoadTest review. Observations on how the product worked under a certain set of conditions should also be included. You should express your professional opinion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;If your experience with the product was positive give the reader some examples to support your opinion. Conversely, if you feel the product has shortcomings, tell the reader why you think this is so. Be objective as you can.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#007fac;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding:18px 0px 6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px;"&gt;Tips for Writing a Great RoadTest Review&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:8px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Write a Great Summary:&lt;/strong&gt; If you have a long review or one that covers multiple blog posts, make sure you summarize your current findings. If you have a three-post review, always summarize the previous posts (e.g. on the third post, summarize your findings from the first and second posts as well). This helps the reader capture your conclusions quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:8px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Use Lots of Visuals:&lt;/strong&gt; There is an old saying that &amp;ldquo;a picture is worth a thousand words.&amp;rdquo; It is as true today as it was when first coined. A RoadTest Review that has great visuals makes it interesting. By adding them to your review, readers will realize you put a lot of effort into your review. They will appreciate it and take the time to read your entire review or even make comments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:8px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Be Objective, Not Emotional:&lt;/strong&gt; RoadTest reviews are quite unlike novels or movies where you get emotionally caught up with the story. A good review is objective and provides supporting evidence of your opinion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:8px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Show, Don&amp;#39;t Tell:&lt;/strong&gt; Show the reader what you did. Show a photo of your testing platform. Provide the reader with screenshots of a section of your code. Avoid skimming over the details.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:8px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Be Fair and Authentic:&lt;/strong&gt; When you offer your professional opinion about the product, make sure it is reasonable, objective and fair. When you sound authentic, you will come off as being more credible. With earned credibility, you will be considered a trustworthy source for more RoadTests. You will also build your standing within the element14 Community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-top:8px;"&gt;6. &lt;span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Read and Imitate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;: Start reading roadtest reviews. After you read about 5 or 10 of them, you will understand what should be included in a review.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#007fac;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding:18px 0px 6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px;"&gt;Examples of Good RoadTest Reviews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;When you read them, you&amp;rsquo;ll notice they are detailed, interesting, and contain a lot of supporting materials.&amp;nbsp; You can understand why the RoadTester was chosen to test the product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:26px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;1. What is a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;The element14 RoadTest is a product review program administered by the element14 Community.&amp;nbsp;It is a review based on actual testing and experiments. RoadTests go beyond subjective web reviews by providing an objective opinion about a product&amp;#39;s quality, ease of use, documentation, and performance. Beyond a simple &amp;ldquo;star&amp;rdquo; review, a RoadTest is a detailed review that shares &amp;quot;the experience of the product&amp;quot; through videos, charts, screenshots, tables, graphs, and other multimedia. A roadtest is not necessarily a project where&amp;nbsp;the goal is to build new prototype or discover a new application for the product; rather, the primary focus of a roadtest is to review the product (i.e., Does it work? Is the documentation useful? Is it easy to use?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;RoadTest applicants &lt;strong&gt;compete&lt;/strong&gt; to receive a RoadTest product. Applicants undergo extensive pre-screening by the element14 RoadTest Program Manager prior to selection to ensure the best qualified and most reliable applicants are chosen as official roadtesters. Once the Roadtest Program Manager selects the official roadtesters, they will be notified by email. The product or kit is shipped to the roadtesters at no charge. Roadtesters keep the product after they publish a review on element14. The Roadtesters have 60-days from receipt of the product to perform testing and write a review on element14.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;2. Who can apply for a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;element14 Community members only. Any element14 member can apply to a RoadTest. If you are not a member, go &lt;a href="/user/createuser" data-e14adj="t"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to register. In the upper right hand portion of your browser there will be a &lt;span style="background-color:#008000;"&gt;green Register&lt;/span&gt; button.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;3. How much does a RoadTest cost?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;For members of the element14 community, there is no charge to participate in the RoadTest program.&amp;nbsp;However, the program is supported by the sponsors of the program. Without their financial support, the program would not exist in its present form. This is why each review is important to the entire program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

How will I know I have been selected to RoadTest the product for which I applied?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;The RoadTest Program Manager will contact you when you are selected. You do not need to contact the Program Manager. We will reach out to the selected finalists on the element14 community for additional information, as well as to confirm their interest in participating. Failure to respond to this message will result in your application being eliminated, and we will chose another participant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;10. What do I do if I am not selected as a RoadTester?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;This question can be answered in several ways. If you are asking what can you do about a roadtest that you were not selected for, the answer is nothing for that roadtest. You may want to review your application entry form and ask yourself how you could have made it a more persuasive entry. Keep on trying by applying to other roadtests. Moreover, another thing you can do is participate in other programs on the element14 community, which typically earn you participation points which the RoadTest Program manager looks at during the selection process. The final thing you can do is to log into the element14 community frequently. Members who are logging into the community frequently and more often selected as roadtesters than those who do not. Roadtests are an activity of element14. Hence, it is a program for members who want to participate in our community.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;11. If I am selected as a RoadTester,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt; can&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt; I keep the product I tested?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;Yes. That&amp;#39;s the great benefit of being a participant in the RoadTest program. You get the product for free in exchange for your objective feedback.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;12. What happens if I don&amp;#39;t provide a RoadTest review?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;Some RoadTesters are unable to provide a review for a variety of reasons. If you are a RoadTester and you are unable to complete the review, please contact the RoadTest Program Manager&amp;nbsp;as soon as possible so he is aware of your situation. We may be able to offer you a solution, including additional time if necessary. If you do not provide a RoadTest Review within 60 Days and you do not contact us regarding your situation, you may be barred from participating in any future RoadTest.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;13. Will I receive a Badge for my RoadTest review or application?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;We have introduced rewards for applying for a RoadTest! You&amp;#39;ll receive a number of points for applying for the RoadTest, upon successful completion of a RoadTest review once you&amp;#39;ve received your hardware, you&amp;#39;ll be awarded with points and a badge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;14.&amp;nbsp;Are there any restrictions on countries or nationalities who can apply?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;Typically, our roadtests are global. So, they are not restricted. However, on rare occasions, a product can only operate in a specific region of the world. For those roadtests we would either limit it to a region or strive to get a version that can operate in other regions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;The element14 RoadTest is a product review program administered by the element14 Community.&amp;nbsp;It is a review based on actual testing and experiments. RoadTests go beyond subjective web reviews by providing an objective opinion about a product&amp;#39;s quality, ease of use, documentation, and performance. Beyond a simple &amp;ldquo;star&amp;rdquo; review, a RoadTest is a detailed review that shares &amp;quot;the experience of the product&amp;quot; through videos, charts, screenshots, tables, graphs, and other multimedia. A roadtest is not necessarily a project where&amp;nbsp;the goal is to build new prototype or discover a new application for the product; rather, the primary focus of a roadtest is to review the product (i.e., Does it work? Is the documentation useful? Is it easy to use?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;RoadTest applicants &lt;strong&gt;compete&lt;/strong&gt; to receive a RoadTest product. Applicants undergo extensive pre-screening by the element14 RoadTest Program Manager prior to selection to ensure the best qualified and most reliable applicants are chosen as official roadtesters. Once the Roadtest Program Manager selects the official roadtesters, they will be notified by email. The product or kit is shipped to the roadtesters at no charge. Roadtesters keep the product after they publish a review on element14. The Roadtesters have 60-days from receipt of the product to perform testing and write a review on element14.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;2. Who can apply for a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;element14 Community members only. Any element14 member can apply to a RoadTest. If you are not a member, go &lt;a href="/user/createuser" data-e14adj="t"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to register. In the upper right hand portion of your browser there will be a green Register button.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;For members of the element14 community, there is no charge to participate in the RoadTest program.&amp;nbsp;However, the program is supported by the sponsors of the program. Without their financial support, the program would not exist in its present form. This is why each review is important to the entire program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

How will I know I have been selected to RoadTest the product for which I applied?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;The RoadTest Program Manager will contact you when you are selected. You do not need to contact the Program Manager. We will reach out to the selected finalists on the element14 community for additional information, as well as to confirm their interest in participating. Failure to respond to this message will result in your application being eliminated, and we will chose another participant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;10. What do I do if I am not selected as a RoadTester?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;This question can be answered in several ways. If you are asking what can you do about a roadtest that you were not selected for, the answer is nothing for that roadtest. You may want to review your application entry form and ask yourself how you could have made it a more persuasive entry. Keep on trying by applying to other roadtests. Moreover, another thing you can do is participate in other programs on the element14 community, which typically earn you participation points which the RoadTest Program manager looks at during the selection process. The final thing you can do is to log into the element14 community frequently. Members who are logging into the community frequently and more often selected as roadtesters than those who do not. Roadtests are an activity of element14. Hence, it is a program for members who want to participate in our community.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;11. If I am selected as a RoadTester,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt; can&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt; I keep the product I tested?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;Yes. That&amp;#39;s the great benefit of being a participant in the RoadTest program. You get the product for free in exchange for your objective feedback.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;12. What happens if I don&amp;#39;t provide a RoadTest review?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;Some RoadTesters are unable to provide a review for a variety of reasons. If you are a RoadTester and you are unable to complete the review, please contact the RoadTest Program Manager&amp;nbsp;as soon as possible so he is aware of your situation. We may be able to offer you a solution, including additional time if necessary. If you do not provide a RoadTest Review within 60 Days and you do not contact us regarding your situation, you may be barred from participating in any future RoadTest.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;13. Will I receive a Badge for my RoadTest review or application?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;We have introduced rewards for applying for a RoadTest! You&amp;#39;ll receive a number of points for applying for the RoadTest, upon successful completion of a RoadTest review once you&amp;#39;ve received your hardware, you&amp;#39;ll be awarded with points and a badge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;14.&amp;nbsp;Are there any restrictions on countries or nationalities who can apply?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;Typically, our roadtests are global. So, they are not restricted. However, on rare occasions, a product can only operate in a specific region of the world. For those roadtests we would either limit it to a region or strive to get a version that can operate in other regions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:26px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;1. What is a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The element14 RoadTest is a product review program administered by the element14 Community.&amp;nbsp;It is a review based on actual testing and experiments. RoadTests go beyond subjective web reviews by providing an objective opinion about a product&amp;#39;s quality, ease of use, documentation, and performance. Beyond a simple &amp;ldquo;star&amp;rdquo; review, a RoadTest is a detailed review that shares &amp;quot;the experience of the product&amp;quot; through videos, charts, screenshots, tables, graphs, and other multimedia. A roadtest is not necessarily a project where&amp;nbsp;the goal is to build new prototype or discover a new application for the product; rather, the primary focus of a roadtest is to review the product (i.e., Does it work? Is the documentation useful? Is it easy to use?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RoadTest applicants &lt;strong&gt;compete&lt;/strong&gt; to receive a RoadTest product. Applicants undergo extensive pre-screening by the element14 RoadTest Program Manager prior to selection to ensure the best qualified and most reliable applicants are chosen as official roadtesters. Once the Roadtest Program Manager selects the official roadtesters, they will be notified by email. The product or kit is shipped to the roadtesters at no charge. Roadtesters keep the product after they publish a review on element14. The Roadtesters have 60-days from receipt of the product to perform testing and write a review on element14.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;2. Who can apply for a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;element14 Community members only. Any element14 member can apply to a RoadTest. If you are not a member, go &lt;a href="/user/createuser" data-e14adj="t"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to register. In the upper right hand portion of your browser there will be a green Register button.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;3. How much does a RoadTest cost?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;For members of the element14 community, there is no charge to participate in the RoadTest program.&amp;nbsp;However, the program is supported by the sponsors of the program. Without their financial support, the program would not exist in its present form. This is why each review is important to the entire program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;4. How long do I have to complete a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;You have 60 days from the receipt of the product to complete the RoadTest and submit your review.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;5. Do you provide the test equipment for me to RoadTest the product?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;While element14 provides the product to be RoadTested, it does not provide the test equipment to perform the testing. the roadtest applicant must have the main resources the complete a review. On a case by case basis, the RoadTest program Manager has provide complementary parts to enhance a roadtest. Examples would include a cable, an expansion word, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;6. What do I need to deliver to you to show I completed the RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;You need only complete a RoadTest review and post it on the element14 Community website. The RoadTest Program Manager tracks the roadtest reviews and monitors when they are posted. Moreover, the RoadTest Program Team conducts follow up emails over the course of the roadtest to ensure the roadtest is on track and can be delivered in the 60-day timeframe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;7. Is there a limit to the number of RoadTests for which I can apply?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;There is no limit to the number of RoadTests for which you can apply. However, The RoadTest Program Manager tries to limit the number of reviews that a member can be working on. He attempts to follow the one-review-at-a-time rule.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;8. How will my RoadTest Review be used? Who will read it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;RoadTests reviews are available for anyone to read on the element14 Community website. They will be read by community members, potential customers, the manufacturer, and other interested parties. The sponsor of the product eagerly waits and reads all the reviews of their product. If they have a questions, the roadtester will be contacted by the RoadTest Program Manager.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

How will I know I have been selected to RoadTest the product for which I applied?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

What do I do if I am not selected as a RoadTester?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The element14 RoadTest is a product review program administered by the element14 Community.&amp;nbsp;It is a review based on actual testing and experiments. RoadTests go beyond subjective web reviews by providing an objective opinion about a product&amp;#39;s quality, ease of use, documentation, and performance. Beyond a simple &amp;ldquo;star&amp;rdquo; review, a RoadTest is a detailed review that shares &amp;quot;the experience of the product&amp;quot; through videos, charts, screenshots, tables, graphs, and other multimedia. A roadtest is not necessarily a project where&amp;nbsp;the goal is to build new prototype or discover a new application for the product; rather, the primary focus of a roadtest is to review the product (i.e., Does it work? Is the documentation useful? Is it easy to use?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RoadTest applicants &lt;strong&gt;compete&lt;/strong&gt; to receive a RoadTest product. Applicants undergo extensive pre-screening by the element14 RoadTest Program Manager prior to selection to ensure the best qualified and most reliable applicants are chosen as official roadtesters. Once the Roadtest Program Manager selects the official roadtesters, they will be notified by email. The product or kit is shipped to the roadtesters at no charge. Roadtesters keep the product after they publish a review on element14. The Roadtesters have 60-days from receipt of the product to perform testing and write a review on element14.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;2. Who can apply for a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;element14 Community members only. Any element14 member can apply to a RoadTest. If you are not a member, go &lt;a href="/user/createuser" data-e14adj="t"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to register. In the upper right hand portion of your browser there will be a green Register button.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;For members of the element14 community, there is no charge to participate in the RoadTest program.&amp;nbsp;However, the program is supported by the sponsors of the program. Without their financial support, the program would not exist in its present form. This is why each review is important to the entire program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

How long do I have to complete a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;You have 60 days from the receipt of the product to complete the RoadTest and submit your review.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Do you provide the test equipment for me to RoadTest the product?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;While element14 provides the product to be RoadTested, it does not provide the test equipment to perform the testing. the roadtest applicant must have the main resources the complete a review. On a case by case basis, the RoadTest program Manager has provide complementary parts to enhance a roadtest. Examples would include a cable, an expansion word, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

What do I need to deliver to you to show I completed the RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;You need only complete a RoadTest review and post it on the element14 Community website. The RoadTest Program Manager tracks the roadtest reviews and monitors when they are posted. Moreover, the RoadTest Program Team conducts follow up emails over the course of the roadtest to ensure the roadtest is on track and can be delivered in the 60-day timeframe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Is there a limit to the number of RoadTests for which I can apply?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;There is no limit to the number of RoadTests for which you can apply. However, The RoadTest Program Manager tries to limit the number of reviews that a member can be working on. He attempts to follow the one-review-at-a-time rule.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;8. How will my RoadTest Review be used? Who will read it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;RoadTests reviews are available for anyone to read on the element14 Community website. They will be read by community members, potential customers, the manufacturer, and other interested parties. The sponsor of the product eagerly waits and reads all the reviews of their product. If they have a questions, the roadtester will be contacted by the RoadTest Program Manager.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;9. How will I know I have been selected to RoadTest the product for which I applied?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;The RoadTest Program Manager will contact you when you are selected. You do not need to contact the Program Manager. We will reach out to the selected finalists on the element14 community for additional information, as well as to confirm their interest in participating. Failure to respond to this message will result in your application being eliminated, and we will chose another participant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;10. What do I do if I am not selected as a RoadTester?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;This question can be answered in several ways. If you are asking what can you do about a roadtest that you were not selected for, the answer is nothing for that roadtest. You may want to review your application entry form and ask yourself how you could have made it a more persuasive entry. Keep on trying by applying to other roadtests. Moreover, another thing you can do is participate in other programs on the element14 community, which typically earn you participation points which the RoadTest Program manager looks at during the selection process. The final thing you can do is to log into the element14 community frequently. Members who are logging into the community frequently and more often selected as roadtesters than those who do not. Roadtests are an activity of element14. Hence, it is a program for members who want to participate in our community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;11. If I am selected as a RoadTester, can I keep the product I tested?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;Yes. That&amp;#39;s the great benefit of being a participant in the RoadTest program. You get the product for free in exchange for your objective feedback.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;12. What happens if I don&amp;#39;t provide a RoadTest review?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;Some RoadTesters are unable to provide a review for a variety of reasons. If you are a RoadTester and you are unable to complete the review, please contact the RoadTest Program Manager&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-weight:bold;"&gt;as soon as possible&lt;/span&gt; so he is aware of your situation. We may be able to offer you a solution, including additional time if necessary. If you do not provide a RoadTest Review within 60 Days and you do not contact us regarding your situation, you may be barred from participating in any future RoadTest.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;13. Will I receive a Badge for my RoadTest review or application?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;We have introduced rewards for applying for a RoadTest! You&amp;#39;ll receive a number of points for applying for the RoadTest, upon successful completion of a RoadTest review once you&amp;#39;ve received your hardware, you&amp;#39;ll be awarded with points and a badge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;14.&amp;nbsp;Are there any restrictions on countries or nationalities who can apply?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;Typically, our roadtests are global. So, they are not restricted. However, on rare occasions, a product can only operate in a specific region of the world. For those roadtests we would either limit it to a region or strive to get a version that can operate in other regions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Is there a limit to the number of RoadTests for which I can apply?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;There is no limit to the number of RoadTests for which you can apply. However, The RoadTest Program Manager tries to limit the number of reviews that a member can be working on. He attempts to follow the one-review-at-a-time rule.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

How will my RoadTest Review be used? Who will read it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;RoadTests reviews are available for anyone to read on the element14 Community website. They will be read by community members, potential customers, the manufacturer, and other interested parties. The sponsor of the product eagerly waits and reads all the reviews of their product. If they have a questions, the roadtester will be contacted by the RoadTest Program Manager.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

How will I know I have been selected to RoadTest the product for which I applied?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;The RoadTest Program Manager will contact you when you are selected. You do not need to contact the Program Manager. We will reach out to the selected finalists on the element14 community for additional information, as well as to confirm their interest in participating. Failure to respond to this message will result in your application being eliminated, and we will chose another participant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;10. What do I do if I am not selected as a RoadTester?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;This question can be answered in several ways. If you are asking what can you do about a roadtest that you were not selected for, the answer is nothing for that roadtest. You may want to review your application entry form and ask yourself how you could have made it a more persuasive entry. Keep on trying by applying to other roadtests. Moreover, another thing you can do is participate in other programs on the element14 community, which typically earn you participation points which the RoadTest Program manager looks at during the selection process. The final thing you can do is to log into the element14 community frequently. Members who are logging into the community frequently and more often selected as roadtesters than those who do not. Roadtests are an activity of element14. Hence, it is a program for members who want to participate in our community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

If I am selected as a RoadTester, can I keep the product I tested?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;Yes. That&amp;#39;s the great benefit of being a participant in the RoadTest program. You get the product for free in exchange for your objective feedback.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

What happens if I don&amp;#39;t provide a RoadTest review?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;Some RoadTesters are unable to provide a review for a variety of reasons. If you are a RoadTester and you are unable to complete the review, please contact the RoadTest Program Manager&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-weight:bold;"&gt;as soon as possible&lt;/span&gt; so he is aware of your situation. We may be able to offer you a solution, including additional time if necessary. If you do not provide a RoadTest Review within 60 Days and you do not contact us regarding your situation, you may be barred from participating in any future RoadTest.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;13. Will I receive a Badge for my RoadTest review or application?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;We have introduced rewards for applying for a RoadTest! You&amp;#39;ll receive a number of points for applying for the RoadTest, upon successful completion of a RoadTest review once you&amp;#39;ve received your hardware, you&amp;#39;ll be awarded with points and a badge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;14.&amp;nbsp;Are there any restrictions on countries or nationalities who can apply?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;Typically, our roadtests are global. So, they are not restricted. However, on rare occasions, a product can only operate in a specific region of the world. For those roadtests we would either limit it to a region or strive to get a version that can operate in other regions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:26px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;1. What is a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The element14 RoadTest is a product review program administered by the element14 Community.&amp;nbsp;It is a review based on actual testing and experiments. RoadTests go beyond subjective web reviews by providing an objective opinion about a product&amp;#39;s quality, ease of use, documentation, and performance. Beyond a simple &amp;ldquo;star&amp;rdquo; review, a RoadTest is a detailed review that shares &amp;quot;the experience of the product&amp;quot; through videos, charts, screenshots, tables, graphs, and other multimedia. A roadtest is not necessarily a project where&amp;nbsp;the goal is to build new prototype or discover a new application for the product; rather, the primary focus of a roadtest is to review the product (i.e., Does it work? Is the documentation useful? Is it easy to use?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RoadTest applicants &lt;strong&gt;compete&lt;/strong&gt; to receive a RoadTest product. Applicants undergo extensive pre-screening by the element14 RoadTest Program Manager prior to selection to ensure the best qualified and most reliable applicants are chosen as official roadtesters. Once the Roadtest Program Manager selects the official roadtesters, they will be notified by email. The product or kit is shipped to the roadtesters at no charge. Roadtesters keep the product after they publish a review on element14. The Roadtesters have 60-days from receipt of the product to perform testing and write a review on element14.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;2. Who can apply for a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;Any element14 member can apply to a RoadTest. If you are not a member, go &lt;a href="/user/createuser" data-e14adj="t"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to register. In the upper right hand portion of your browser there will be a green Register button.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;3. How much does a RoadTest cost?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;For members of the element14 community, there is no charge to participate in the RoadTest program.&amp;nbsp;However, the program is supported by the sponsors of the program. Without their financial support, the program would not exist in its present form. This is why each review is important to the entire program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;4. How long do I have to complete a RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;You have 60 days from the receipt of the product to complete the RoadTest and submit your review.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;5. Do you provide the test equipment for me to RoadTest the product?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;While element14 provides the product to be RoadTested, it does not provide the test equipment to perform the testing. the roadtest applicant must have the main resources the complete a review. On a case by case basis, the RoadTest program Manager has provide complementary parts to enhance a roadtest. Examples would include a cable, an expansion word, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"&gt;6. What do I need to deliver to you to show I completed the RoadTest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;You need only complete a RoadTest review and post it on the element14 Community website. The RoadTest Program Manager tracks the roadtest reviews and monitors when they are posted. Moreover, the RoadTest Program Team conducts follow up emails over the course of the roadtest to ensure the roadtest is on track and can be delivered in the 60-day timeframe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Is there a limit to the number of RoadTests for which I can apply?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;There is no limit to the number of RoadTests for which you can apply.

You&amp;#39;ll receive a number of points for applying for the RoadTest, upon successful completion of a RoadTest review once you&amp;#39;ve received your hardware, you&amp;#39;ll be awarded with points and a badge.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif;margin:0;"&gt;Typically, our roadtests are global. So, they are not restricted. However, on rare occasions, a product can only operate in a specific region of the world. For those roadtests we would either limit it to a region or strive to get a version that can operate in other regions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
