I just had a thought, wouldn't it be cool if there was a contest to see who could print the most complex shape with there reprap. Or maybe the most artistic or useful or something. You could have folks take a time laps video of there build and a picture of the finished whatever they make. Maybe even a little corporate sponsership from BFB or makerbot to sweetin the pot.
I have no clue how many reprap/strap's there are out in the world but if enough it's be a lot of fun.

What do ya think?

You won't need to offer a prize or even announce a challenge to get people to want to print complicated shapes with their toys.

This is a great idea as a scholarship for students or student groups building RepRaps. I am a college student, and I would love such an opportunity to be available.

I really love the egalitarian philosophy of RepRap, and as a community college student, I would really love to see the RepRap promoted among community colleges, where there isn't always money available for fancy, expensive equipment or research.

How about a community college scholarship contest?? I would be thrilled to help promote this in my area!!
