Anyone want to enter? I'm thinking Team Steve might be a good candidate. I can help with a write-up/submission if someone else takes the lead.

Greetings,

 

Congratulations on your mention in the June 2015 Popular Mechanics issue. We support the endeavors of makerspaces throughout the country, and we are pleased to see you on this list.

It's that time of the year here at Boca Bearings -- our annual and popular Innovation Contest 2015.

 

http://www.bocabearings.com/innovation-contest/

The Boca Bearings Company holds this contest which is open for people and makerspaces worldwide who have different backgrounds and a keen interest in mechanically-related projects. All of the projects submitted in our contest require the use of bearings in their installation.

We had a tremendous response to our contest in 2014, everything from stroboscopic zoetropes to human powered helicopters and electric go-kart and micro-kart were submitted -- see the winners here:

The winner earned $5000. See video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ2dxKG56eQ

The prize will be the same this year.

If you participated in 2014 you are welcome to enter the same project you had or if you have a new project in the works, you can present the new project.

If you're interested in participating please let us know.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Boca Bearings Team
