That's something I'd like to know as well...MrCrowley wrote:2) Can anyone, of any age, of any country enter?
Joanna and Mr. C, sounds like you can have at it. Though I must admit, you entering would most likely lower my chances of winning significantly, and that makes me sad. I'll jsut have to try harder. And make it bigger....instructables.com wrote:Fine Print:
You can only win one prize per contest, but enter as many projects as you like and cross-post to other contests! Many Launch It! Instructables would also make great entries in the Science Fair.
<b>International entries are great- we're happy to ship our t-shirts abroad. If you're under 18, that's fine too- we'll just need your parents' OK if you win.</b>
We've had some pretty complicated entries before. Like this RC steam tank. It's a matter of how much time you have to put into it.jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:This is the interesting part which makes this nothing like the previous spudfiles contest, as it seems to eliminate the more complex launchers which are practically impossible to detail in a how-to, the winning entry will be something simple using standard parts - it will be a sten, not a thompson.Entries in the contest need to provide detailed instructions with photos of how to build whatever the device is.
Thanks, good to be here.MrCrowley wrote:Hey, Welcome to SF.
Two Questions:
1) If you've already made a video like mine below, can that be entered? I don't have the wooden furniture thing I shot anymore. The only thing is it doesn't show my gun shooting, just shows the golfball going through the wood.
2) Can anyone, of any age, of any country enter?

Since the competition is already halfway way through, wouldn't all of us here be at a disadvantage for page views? I know that's what counts, as more traffic to your site the better but if it was a proper competition surely it would be judged on stuff like:Contets Page wrote:Ratings Prize: First

Not necessarily - this isn't a power or range competition.joannaardway wrote:This could be good then - so far I don't see much competition for a piston cannon.
Yes, but a piston cannon definately has an edge over the typical ball valve or spray 'n' pray combustion - it's different, which makes it noticable.jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:Not necessarily - this isn't a power or range competition.
