Post by: Le Chuck on March 17, 2012, 04:25:04 pm
Welcome to the 2011 BYOAC User Choice Awards Hardware Contribution category voting poll!

Each user gets one vote so pick the project that best fits the broad definition below and really captured your attention.  Feel free to post why you chose a certain cabinet but don't feel obligated to reveal your vote.  

Hardware contributions are defined for this competition as mini cabinets based on a handheld gaming device, custom built or modified controls, lighting, or other physical cab elements that were new or improved this past year and advanced the hobby.

This year we had some great hardware modifications, creations, and solutions that were fleshed out by the community.  The following projects recieved one nomination and as such are awarded an honorable mention as one of the best small projects of 2011:

TerraHawk's Servo Joyswitch (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=104762.msg1148925#msg1148925)
Vcoleiro1's mini space invaders (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=112891.0)


And now, the confirmed nominees for the 2011 BYOAC UCA Best Hardware Contribution in no particular order:

The Wireless Trigger Hotstick gets my vote hands down. There's simply no longer an excuse to dedicate space for a Tron stick anymore. It's fairly ingenious!  :applaud:

We're a week out from the polls closing on the 2011 BYOAC User Choice Awards and naming this years winners.  Get those votes in if you haven't already.  This has been a public service  :bump for the Hardware Contribution Category.

This is such a hard one.  I think the mini-DK is soooooo much cooler, but the stick will get my vote because it's such a contribution to the community.
