So you probably remember that RedBull is putting on a sweet contest. The hard work is over and now you get to vote on it soon. “ THE TEAMS i3 Detroit (Detroit, MI): Winners from last year’s competition, i3 returns as a collective of hackers, makers, technologists, and automotive engineers that use fabrication equipment like metal lathes and laser cutters to create epic projects like a 16-ft tall, fire-breathing statue
