As promised the contest this week will be a bit harder. 🙂 Also the previous winners of all outstanding contests including the Happy Holidays 2009 Contest will be determined and posted today. The prize this week is one of those popular micro helicopters. It uses IR from the controller to send control data to the small chopper. It’s sure to provide tons of cat tormenting fun. You don’t need to find the make and model of the item in the picture but you do need to determine what it is used for.
This contest will run for one week (February 6, 2010 – February 12, 2010) . Ending time is based on central standard time. To enter, identify the item pictured above and give an example of what can be done with it.
Please do not give the answer in the comments.
Send an email to contest @ hackedgadgets.com with “Name the Thing Contest” as the subject, and the message body consisting of:
- The name of the item in the above picture
- An example of what the item pictured above can be used for
The winner will be chosen at random from all of the correct entries.

Isn’t it obvious?
It’s the inside of a red control panel that has been recognized by Underwriters Laboratories.
