Trossen Robotics held a Tutorial Contest.  The winners got some great robotics prizes.  But they aren’t the only ones who win.  We are.

Why?  Because they had to create quality tutorials in order to qualify for the prizes.  And you and I get to read and use those tutorials.

You can see the projects and winners here on the Tutorial Contest Winners Announced! page.
