Contestants are required to tap into the extensive range of boards, libraries and online platform available within the Arduino ecosystem. Project ideas for use in industrial automation could target remote control, energy management or predictive maintenance, for example, using the Arduino Create Cloud platform to set up, control and connect Arduino-, Intel- and Arm-based devices. Robotics projects could include designs for surveillance drones, robotic arms, rovers, or self-drive transportation, using boards such as the Arduino MKR1000 or Arduino Due to read sensors and control motors and actuators for prototyping advanced robotics systems.
Prizes will be awarded based on originality, quality, creativity and the social impact of project entries. During the first ‘ideas’ phase of the contest, which involves concept creation, bill of materials, schematics and code, there will be a series of micro contests, with weekly prizes handed out from supporting companies RND Group and Seeed Studio. Contestants selected to proceed to the second ‘build’ phase will each be awarded a Distrelec voucher to the value of 75 Euro to spend on Distrelec online store. Phase 2 contestants will compete to execute their concepts and present a working solution. The final winning entries will receive:

1st place: Trip to Rome Maker Faire on October 12, 2018, plus a Keithley Tabletop Multimeter
2nd place: Weller Soldering Station and accessories
3rd -10th place: Seeed Studio Grove Starter Kit

The deadline for ideas and concepts is June 29, 2018; the deadline to submit full projects is September 16, 2018. The final winners will be announced on October 1, 2018.
