BuWizz Team

Very cool competition. To bad I have no buwizz.

Same here, I would have got one if I had a smartphone.... and my LiPo contraption is not allowed.

Is it allowed to team up with someone ?

Same here... I got a SBrick instead (mainly because of the app being better).

I guess you need to win a BuWizz before you can enter to win a BuWizz...

LOL

Not having the buwizz :/

Great idea! And I look forward to the results but I believe there are some areas of concern.

Amount of people with buwizz (unless of course you are using this contest as a method for people to buy them) is limited.

Amount of people with buwizz v1 vs v2 which makes a difference.

Not really a fast car competition.  Maybe rename the title to something more appropriate.

Didn't read rules

Great oportunity and very nice prizes.  Unfortunately time window is rather short... at least for me.

Don't have a buwizz, though that makes me understand how good of a marketing tactic this contest is, and the contest does sound pretty awesome. Best of luck to all who join!

And make a video to enter to post, and win a buwizz, and use it to make a video to... Wait a second!

I agree, and too much purist for this challenge.

And that... I've got a feeling @kbalage will score good in this contest... (if he enters)

100% a marketing tactic, this contest is not about the fun of building, it's about getting builders to buy a Buwizz for the contest.  Either they are trying to promote the newer product, or sales are down and they need to do something about it.  

Well that's a new one, announce a contest to win a free Lego Bugatti and everyone shoots it down as some conspiracy, not one positive response. 

Sounds like the emphasis is on the video production not the build, so I guess they need some videos showcasing their product. 

I personally don't have a Buwhizz nor do I plan on getting one anytime soon, but if I did I would certainly enter, nothing to lose after all. 

Hopefully we see some great ideas come from it anyway.

Lol, thanks for that but I will not enter :) Cool competition with very nice prizes but I don't think it would be fair to enter while my video is on the entry page :)

Excuse me, did you read the first few? And not everyone said conspiracy, just thought it is just for advertising.

Or, it's a way for them to give something back to the customers who have bought and supported their product.

I doubt many people will order a Buwizz just to enter this competition, but people who have been a bit on the fence about it might finally take the plunge because of a contest like this.

There is nothing wrong with it, they're simply taking care of their customer base and maybe even picking up some new customers along the way.

It's just good marketing, at the end of the day their goal is to make money, just like every other company.

Do you go around calling out your local stores when they have competitions/raffles that require you to show a receipt from buying something in their store as well?

Oh yeah, I didn't see that... I guess that just goes to show how good your MOCs (and videos) are... 

Sounds like a fun contest. Thanks for setting this up guys!

I may enter if I have time...

I'm just about to publish my work and use your product, but it's neither 'car' nor 'fast' 

I would like to enter this contest, I would love to have a BuWizz! ... If only I had BuWizz ...

Of course it is marketing, but I'm considering to buy Buwizz for some time. I would pariticpiate, but deadline seems too short. Easpecially, when I have to order biwuizz, and wait for delivery, it will take at least week.

@Ron1, in the rules it states: Must use ONE BuWizz brick. Does this mean using two BuWizz bricks is not allowed? I was thinking of entering with my 4WD RC buggy (work in progress), but if using two BuWizzes is not allowed, then I will have to pass.
