carr52 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 I was wondering if I could make a suggestion for a challenge? Strangest project or something wierd you have made. Keeping it clean of course. But if you cant just email me the pics. LOL. Here is a project I have been playing with for quite awhile now. I got the idea from the movie The Da Venci Code. It's a Cryptex thingy. Not sure about the spelling. Tom OOPS, Forgot to ask is the challenge something that has to be made during that month? Tom

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted August 28, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted August 28, 2008 Cool Codex, Tom. l like the idea of 'strangest' project, but I don't think it's really appropriate as a challenge. The idea, as I see it, is to have a uniform THING for everyone to try. That way, we get to see a lot of interpretations of a single thing. Simply posting the strangest thing you've done is a great thread idea, but it makes it a little difficult for everyone to make their interpretation of that thing. And yes, the challenge for the month should be completed in the month, just for simplicity's sake. There's no requirement to do them, no grade, no punishment. The reward for doing them is having a project to practice on, and being able to compare your work to other members. This is a really cool way to check your skills, ask questions, and perhaps develop new skills.

And I agree it should be done in the same month. Tom
carr52 Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Posted August 30, 2008 This is a picture of it apart. Still got a few bugs to work out. It doesnt slide apart as easily as I'd like. But it is just a prototype after all. Tom
