I keep getting emails about the schedule, can we make it more readily visible. Maybe put it in the Where? When? What? section.

Companies can sponsor with multiple prize boosters. Need some sort of icon or tag that indicates the number of prize boosters purchased (either a badge counter, or perhaps the number of times the icon appears).

I'm an idiot.

B&D's Problem Statement information:

1.   Robotic Cleaning – Develop a technique for cleaning anything from floors to windows that does not require human work or monitoring.
   

2.   Robotic Lawn mower – Robotic lawnmowers are not novel.  However, most use wires that are buried around the yard.   The goal of this challenge is to make a mowing system that does not use these wires but holds the accuracy need to get clean lines and not create a safety issue.
   

3.   DeWalt or consumer use of Gyro (development kits)
   

4.   Non conventional user tool interfaces
   

As user, it takes a long time to scroll down to the sections at the bottom, or to the top once I'm at the bottom. Provide a way to jump to different sections.

Judge: Carson Wright

Carson and revised to this: Carson is a Software Developer for Traitify. He works mainly with the Traitify.js library - this includes Traitify’s JavaScript API client and widgets. While he mostly writes in CoffeeScript, he is also well versed when it comes to Ruby on Rails and Sinatra. Carson strives to make technology easily adoptable, working hard to make his own creations clean, small, and ready to be used.

Problem Statement: TBD

We have a 3 column grid, however we need to fairly display 4 Silver sponsors at the same level. Perhaps just make that section 4 columns? That might make the logo widths too small.

"MindGrub" should be "Mindgrub" (lowercase 'g')

Need to add link to: www.mindgrub.com and add her twitter handle@NoOrdnryCherry
