Dunno if anyone's seen this, but if you're a member of this site then you'll probably be interested, so here it is just a click away:

That keyboard in the background... I've murdered one of those.

It still works, and i got amazing bends out of it after soldering in a bunch of ICs.

wow way to reive a year dead thread with no posts.. Ok now that it's alive again, does anybody know anything about a new circuit bending challenge or maybe there's interest arranging one ?

Somebody should email getlofi about setting a new one up

Can we organise it online? I'm assuming that's how it was done before...

What rules should we have? No more than a tenner for the "victim" perhaps?

I suggest we pencil in something for late January, when the charity shops begin filling up with tat again.

I think maybe there should be different categories ? Like;
Toy instruments (Circle drums, guitars, etc.)
Speaking toys (Speak and Spell, VTech stuff, etc.)
Sound modulators (Voice changers)
Robots and dolls (R2D2, Babyborne, etc.)
Wierd stuff (Radios, tape players ??)
Actual Instruments..

Others?

But I don't know..

I did not participate in last years competition, as I found out a few days later than when it finished.. So LET'S HAVE A FUCKING CIRCUITBENDING COMPETITION THIS YEAR AGAIN !!!!

Yeah, we should do that again this year.

Sounds awesome. Maybe I can finish and debut a first item if it's in January. Is there a prize involved? Not that I'd win...

On a side note, there should be a word that refers to an item that is circuit bent, instead of 'circuit bent objects.' Some word to drop like

"Yo, just finished a new TRASHBOX, got about 37 now."
"What? How do you find the time for so many CEBOs (circuit bent objects, "seebo")

OK, I'm clearly a dork.

The categories seem a little too specific, but I have no idea of how many people objects enter this thing.

Having said late January, I find that my January is going to be full of radio stuff, culminating in a talk in modding ex-PMR equipment for amateur band use at my local amateur radio club.

Shall we say end of February?
