Felt I should chime in here. First I'd like to to apologize to everyone for any undue confusion or alarm that was raised from this thread's earlier posts. There were some discussions that happened, but formal decisions were not made yet. The earlier communications were by all means too hasty and...

It's competition time. We're back to announce this year's summer contest including several new or changed rules and scoring areas. Make sure to, as always, review this thread in full! Since last year we've seen a variety of new projects ranging from the N64 motherboard being recreated in KiCAD...

I'm listed as an inventor on a patent but it was filed and paid for a previous employer. My understanding it that in terms of up front costs paying someone to draft up / do the paperwork is the biggest cost. It looks like there may be reduced costs if you manage to classify as a "small entity"...

Excuse me WHAT? It makes so much sense that they could/would reuse hardware for these machines but it's super interesting to actually see it here. You need to build a Pachinko machine that has a switch to toggle which IPL gets used. Is there any additional storage on the boards? Would be...

Cool! I think I saw one of those on my usual auction sites. Definitely potential to handle something on the go that arm couldn't, or deck it out with some storage. Steam cache maybe?

If you participated in the 2025 gift exchange, this is the thread to share what you sent! Announcement post here. Other general (on-topic) discussion is naturally allowed as well.

With Summer over, Fall progressing, and Winter approaching BitBuilt is announcing its annual Secret Santa gift exchange. In previous years we've held 2 "pools" of of participants - one for those who reside in the US and those who are not. Historically the "outside the US" pool has been shown...

OP updated with results post.

That's a wrap on this year's summer competition! We had 9 submissions marked as completed this year. We're happy to see more projects completed as well as a wider variety of projects being submitted. We saw everything from a PS3 portable, CRT shenanigans, and everything in-between. Seeing these...
