Aventador2004 Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Very cool competition. To bad I have no buwizz. Quote
Permo Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 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 ? Quote

technic_addict Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited March 3, 2018 by technic_addict Didn't read rules Quote
MajklSpajkl Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Great oportunity and very nice prizes. Unfortunately time window is rather short... at least for me. Quote
BrickbyBrickTechnic Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 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! Quote

aminnich Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 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. Quote
Johnny1360 Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 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.

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

Either they are trying to promote the newer product, or sales are down and they need to do something about it. 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? Quote

Lox Lego Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Sounds like a fun contest. Thanks for setting this up guys! Quote
Chawn Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 I'm just about to publish my work and use your product, but it's neither 'car' nor 'fast' Quote
Leonardo da Bricki Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 I would like to enter this contest, I would love to have a BuWizz! ... If only I had BuWizz ... Quote
Jurss Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 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. Quote
Didumos69 Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 @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. Quote
