firetech Posted May 16, 2010 Posted May 16, 2010 Sidewinder, I just sent you a link to one of mine. You'll have 5 now. Let the judging begin....
EEguy Posted May 17, 2010 Author Posted May 17, 2010 OK fellow pyro-rocketeers, this is the last week to get your videos turned in to The Sidewinder. The May 20th deadline will not be extended, so collect what you have and submit! There is a beautiful new Angry Spark III E-match timer controller just waiting to ship out and start counting. Initiate your electronic matches with 007 style. Solid aluminum construction and high-reliability components; yours for free, just build a rocket and get some footage!
dagabu Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Will you give a discount on the system to those of us that loose? I would really like one of them! D
TheSidewinder Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 OK, folks. Only THREE days remain until the contest closes. I now have the minimum number of entries. But it's the MINIMUM! Anyone who was even toying with the idea of entering should get in gear. After all, with this low number of entries your chances of winning are higher! I must have the email/PM with the link to the video IN MY HANDS by midnight Thursday, so let's get cracking!
EEguy Posted May 17, 2010 Author Posted May 17, 2010 Will you give a discount on the system to those of us that loose? I would really like one of them! D Normally, I would, but this system is currently on a 25% Spring sale. The current sale price cannot be lowered any more, or we would be making them for free. Believe it or not, this niche type of product does not have the high sales volume needed for cheap outsourcing; which to you means quality HAND BUILT IN THE USA! Every unit is fully tested before shipping out the door. Thank you
Plasm7 Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 It looks like I cant enter because of bad weather Good luck everyone
Twotails Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Same here, 3 inch's of rain tonight, i'll try for a launch tomorrow, but, not hopefull.
EEguy Posted May 19, 2010 Author Posted May 19, 2010 Really, on sale, whats the web site? www.nichropulse.com
TheSidewinder Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 And with Midnight, May 20th, having passed, this post will be closed until the results are posted. I'll give the submitted videos to the judges and await their decision. When that's done, we'll post the results here, and I'll add the videos. Thanks to those who participated, and thanks ESPECIALLY to EEguy for sponsoring the contest!
TheSidewinder Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 The videos have been posted for the judging panel to retrieve. We'll await their decision, and then announce the results. Once it's settled the videos will made available for downloading, and placed in a Gallery for online viewing by those who prefer to see them that way. Thank you all! APC Staff
TheSidewinder Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 And the Winner is.... going to be announced by EEguy. Stay tuned for his announcement! The competition was VERY close, and I do NOT envy the Judges task of having to pick one clear winner. In the meantime (just to soothe your impatience) I've opened the Download Category where the videos are stored, and you can view the 6 received entries.
dagabu Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Well I for one tip my hat to you all. My favorite was not mine so loosing will be OK with me!

TheSidewinder Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 Many thanks to EEguy and nichropulse for Judging, and offering a nice prize for this competition. It was a pleasure being the intermediary. After all, *I* got to see the entries first.
Pretty green flame Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 TS, a question, will there be more competitions like this in the future?
EEguy Posted August 24, 2010 Author Posted August 24, 2010 There is a new Fall competition for those of you who would like another chance. We have decided to conduct it directly on YouTube. To increase interest, we specified existing footage and will now include a broad range of pyrotechnic/e-match related application. Simply visit the NichroPulse YouTube channel for details.
