I've got to say the scanning platform is a pretty sweet idea.

Thanks KineticAesthetic, I call dibs on Novint Falcon Rapid Prototype 3d Printer if there's ever another contest ;P

But congratulations to all those that placed. Thanks to Novint for providing the cool bonuses. I'm seriously debating one now.

 

[kami7889]

I was wondering when this would be wrapped up. I wish I would have submitted mine. :\

 

[Terrox]

finnaly and yay, guess i'll buy a novint then

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Congratulations to the winners and participants!

If the winners can PM me with their name/address/postal details, I'll pass them on to Novint in order for you to claim your prize.

And remember, if you didn't enter and are interested in buying a Falcon, you can use the Halflife2.net discount - just enter HL2NET as your discount code when buying.

Congrats on winners!

 

[Marler]

Pi Mu Rho do you need mine, as I was thinking on seeing how the TF2 tournament went first?

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

All entrants are visible here.

Enjoy!

 

[Marler]

also when you buy the novint falcon it says "a collection of great games" and shows orange box, is this a code then for use on steam?

--Edit---

Never mind, just checked and saw it comes with Orange Box and Penumbra Overture

 

[tomnovint]

yep, that's correct Marler - it comes with OB and P:O. It's no problem waiting to see how the TF2 contest goes too. Also, if you do get one, and then win one, we'll either refund your money or send you a 2nd - your choice

thx, tomnovint

 

[Marler]

thanks for that Tom, might order so I know it's on the way, any idea how much VAT is as I think I saw people said £18 on the novint site. do you know if this correct and if not any idea of the price. And the cost of shipping would be useful too

Thanks again Tom!

 

[Gkaee]

Just wondering which falcon do i get for the contest, is it the plain falcon or the orange box bundle?

 

[tomnovint]

I'm not positive on VAT, but you can ask at falconsales [at] novint [dot] com

how long is the discounts for the participants good for? I'm thinking along the lines of xmas I'd have the necessary dough for it.
