High everybody!
Looking forward (just ordered some magnets.
One question:
Quote
Final video entry must be no more than 3 min
can it be edited? or does it have to be recorded in "one take" so there can be no manipulation?
It is clear that for the half time videos it does not matter, but the question concerns the final 3 minute one.
Take care,

Luc

It can be edited.  I think the time limit is there to make judging easier...

Awesome, just ordered some parts, revising my schematic now, hopefully 2 months is enough time to debug and tune my PMBO.
