Please post questions here or by PM if you don't want to give away the "magic." =)
sorry?
you're offering 1000$ for someone to design a red laser module? are you claiming exclusive ownership/patent on the design? what about rights and royalties?
"all design ideas and submissions will become property of X-Laser to be used at our discretion."
if i send you an idea, and you never use it or ever pay for it, it's still your property? exclusive property?
look, i love the spirit of innovation and there are some smart people here that can probably meet your specs, but you have some wording here that makes my spider sense tingle. x-laser has a good reputation, and i'm sure you mean well, but i would never submit a design to a competition with terms this vague.
a laser module with the desired specs sells for more than you're offering as the "prize".
suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
