Round 3 of Community Voting has drawn to a close. This time around we had nearly 60,000 votes for 420 projects! The first voter lottery drawing didn’t turn up a winner, but on Friday we ended up giving away the bench supply. We’ll cover the projects with the top votes in just a moment, but first let’s take a look at the voter lottery prize for the new round.
You must vote at least once in this new round to be eligible for the voter lottery on Friday!
We’ve got so many prizes in the package for the fourth round of Astronaut or Not that we’re just showing you a few in this image.
On Friday morning we’ll be drawing a random number and checking it against the Hacker profiles on Hackaday.io. If that person has voted in this current round, they win. If not, they’ll be kicking themselves (emptyhandedly) for not taking part in the festivities.
This week’s prize package includes:
- Terasic Technologies DE0 Development Board for Cyclone III FPGA
- Raspberry Pi Model B+ Board
- Element14 BeagleBone Black
- MSP430F5529 USB LaunchPad Evaluation Kit

But we’ll just be sending shirts to the 15 projects that didn’t win earlier. Here’s eight that nearly made the top projects in this second round of voting:
420 projects…
you are funny especialy when you used the … that is hilaryclintonous
so did anyone win this pile of junk yet?
Did you vote?
Is small screen voting back or is it just because I changed my phone?
If it was you guys fixing it, thanks!

Astronot or Not?
Whoopsie. Fixed.
Funny to actually see a kickstarter scam in HaD project for voting.
So naturally I have to vote for the other choice.
…mind telling us which one?
It is conflict of interest to eliminate someone from the contest because I think it doesn’t smell right.
– All I can tell you is that the project have nothing at all, no project logs, no “details” and only a part list.
-a keyword that is common with the last few kickstarter that have been posted recently twice
– “green” alternative to the real thing that is same price and same size.
– details/plans will be released only after crowd funding has ended.
Yes. In theory it would probably work well. Claim of price is questionable considering what’s inside. Claim of spec is questionable if one have to meet the price target.
Chances are that it won’t make it past the judges and thankfully HaD readers only give it less than 10 skulls.
well you said is too cool for kickstarter so it should win this round
Reason why I think it won’t meet price target: lots of regulations in the application area. So for a project that have to apply for crowd funding is going to spend a lot of dollars to do that, so not likely to survive until product reaches volume production a few years if not longer. It has to survive until it can reach that point or its price is so high (which violates the premise” that it won’t reach the volume.

Conflict of interest went out the window as soon as you mentioned it. It being the RevAMP Green Car Starter Battery
Woo! Top 15!
Anyway, the voting is much better now. I dont think I saw a duplicate project is all my votes this time. Thanks.
I was trying to vote but I can’t sign in. Reset my password, copied and pasted the new PW and that was “invalid”, too. I was going to leave feedback but I have to log in to leave feedback….
send an email to team [at] hackaday.com and we’ll get you fixed up
Wow, thats some prize package. So just one winner is drawn and gets all of this? Or is there a seperate winner for every prize?
I only get two random projects as voting options. How do I select the project I wish to vote for?
Also, aside from the VOTE link in the article, I don’t find any way to access the contest information, voting, or projects. Is there a link missing from my browser?
Reload the page (Ctrl-R or F5 perhaps?). I love how it selects some projects over and over and over and over … I think you get my point. I really hate the chose A or B project page. I’d rather be able to see them all and select a few.
A few of the home automation and security projects are a bit lame. They use a uC and they’ll either automate or secure something (that’s about the extent of the description). Of course I’m not doing any better but I haven’t put up a project.
