ThinkGeek Hacks Contest

Winners Announcement Page

The gadgets and toys offered by the monkeys at ThinkGeek are pretty amazing right out of the box. But what happens when you take one nifty product and apply your own geekery?

A little soldering and a handful of LEDs later you might have something really special--a blow on/off USB snowman with iPhone sync and cat noises, for instance. And who wouldn't want one of those!?

So here's our challenge to you: use any ThinkGeek product to create something wondrous, publish it here on Instructables, and enter to win the $250 ThinkGeek gift certificate for the best mod. Two first prize winners will each win a $50 gift certificate and an Instructables Robot t-shirt. Runners-up will win an Instructables Robot t-shirt.

ThinkGeek Hacks Contest is open to international entries from a select list of countries. There is no limit to the number of entries per user.

*UPDATE*
We talked things over with the folks from ThinkGeek and realized that you might need some extra time to get your hands on some cool ThinkGeek items to hack, so we've decided to extend the contest an extra week until the end of the day on April 5th.
