Ah, you must mean the Lame Parts contest.

   Some of the entries were quite good even though they used such things as the manta ray and the pirate dingy (parts that are commonly thought of as one use only).

Don’t forget the Throwbot discs...

   I Googled it to see if the page still existed but unfortunately no.

Yeah, Allister did set up a webpage for the winners at one point, but the link he posted is dead.

Dunno about any of the others, but my entry was this. Still together, too (mostly).

T’was a fun little compo. I’d agree that nearly any part can be used in a creative and original way that has never even been thought of before... perhaps another lame parts competition is in order to remind us of that ;)

Michael

I just went to Yahoo to see what was going on with that link and perhaps getting it reinstated. However, it seems that Yahoo no longer has free webpages for members.

I did toss out the idea late last year for another run at the comp, but there was no response so I never bothered. The space seed part is a fairly similar idea too, and that doesn’t get much response either. Maybe after Mark’s contest has run it’s course I’ll have another go. I think I’ll make the rules a lot simpler this time to encourage more entries.

The choice of lame sets is a bit more limited now though, so picking a prize may be tricky. Anyone for Clikits?

Cheers,

Allister.
