Re: Competition #1 - Best Laser under $100

I have a good idea for an entry but I'm curious if judging will favor 'higher output at the lowest cost' vs 'the coolest' under $100... :thinking:

Dan, that's a risk you'll have to take. Do what I did and make a plea for why your's deserves to win. Mine certainly isn't the showiest or the prettiest, but I find it to be a fine <$100 laser.

Well since it is a forum member, poll based judging system i think we will have people voting for all kinds for all different reasons? Which is why the community voting system is better than a small panel of judges..

Nice ok, I think I have the general idea but I wanted to see who'd say what about my question :p

I have a submission I'll share in a day or two once I can get some decent pics & the all the necessary data on said laser ;) Good luck to everyone participating, I think competitions like this are a nice alternative to the everyday norm :beer:

Re: Competition #1 - Best Laser under $100

Ok I have a blord laser that I got used for $100 but the cost of the laser is way over that...
In my opinion that doesn't count....

What counts in this is the value of the laser not if you bought it used, had it as a gift or any other possibility....
