We've set up a webcam and microphone in the office, courtesy of Red Bull and the Red Bull Creation Contest. Starting at 6pm today and ending at 6pm Sunday, the Instructables Team will be competing in the Red Bull Creation Contest, and you can watch us work on it.
The team (more or less) consists of:
randofo
audreyobscura
amandaghassaei
mikeasaurus
noahw
selkeymoonbeam
Until 6pm tonight, you can see us go about our regular business. We will be working and occasionally trolling the webcam. Feel free to chat with us over the livestream! If there's a critical mass, we'll start doing some more entertaining things (by request), including but not limited to: walking tours of the office; staging interviews with each other; getting the Instructables Band together for another office jam session (after 5pm only).
After 6pm, you get to see us in action! We'll be ideating, building, and generally making for 72 hours, and the camera comes too. Come join us!
In case you missed it, here's the Instructable that got us qualified for this finalist round: Romance Pants

Fast forward to 20 minutes in, that's when the fun starts! And enjoy watching me being driven into a sign, into a fence, and being driven through a gate into the road. HUZZAH
After that it just keeps getting more awesome. Kelsey goes for a ride, Jake REALLY enjoys his ref flags, Randy drives in circles and spins, and FREEBIRD
Murphy's law.
They'd spent a good ten minutes (in the last 20) setting up an awesome rig with a great view.
Somebody forgot to put out a red herring for the sheriff, and the law of laws really got up in their grill. (Note: always lay a useless broken non-working item that is un-important and generally disregarded, with the "intention" of adding it in, this usually confuses 'ol Murph. Sounds superstitious, but it really is sound logic.)
They put on an awesome show for a few minutes just before going live(on show). I bore witness, everything worked.
They shouldered through magestically even though the feed switched as they patched in and one of the two remaining chairs threw a cable.
In a word (of which I write too many),
Awesome!
(Aftershow note, the feed on the good cam stayed open and I was able (between other competitors who all made awesome builds) to witness a photoshoot, it was great to watch(I see how you get such awesome shots), you guys work hard, good stuff.)
You're just going to have to give me a live demo NEXT WEEK!!
It was a real kick for the whole family over here.
Thanks for posting my 'fan art' on the feed! My son got really excited when it came on and was proud of me. Cheers.
awesome job! (you guys did really well dealing with Murphy and his laws, and did a great job of denying him his satisfaction.....and that mad little sheriff was all over the red bull creation challenge causing trouble)
Good job, great show! (you should consider a regular live build event, like an hour with a maker a month or week or something)
Cheers.
Hope you pull off the win!
(You guys should all wear shirts with your names on - the only face I recognise is Randy. Oh, and the app version of the feed is about three or four minutes behind the website feed.)
As far as our names- stalk our profiles? I think there's pictures of all of us on the internet. I'm the blond girl.
(I wonder if they fell asleep at the keyboard?)
Makes me wish I was there!!!
GO TEAM INSTRUCTABLES!!!
