wow....just....wow
I can't get a simple answer on the internet anymore it seems...
not when the question is retarded

to me the question isn't. It's a bondo contest, but how much bondo do I have to use for it to count as being made out of bondo, simple.

It is a perfectly valid question. Look at the old contest; See that NES controller? The guy made the WHOLE thing out of Bondo, I think. And he inisisted that his was the only valid entry, or some such nonsense.

But no, it does not have to be all bondo, from what I can tell.

I am gonna give this a go, I have a few sweet ideas.

Bondo is more of a guideline and reference to the old controller contest.

You don't even have to use any, it's just likely most people will.

Like I keep saying: "Go Wild". There's pretty much no rules this time around. Rules = constraints = less unique designs. As long as it's a controller and is functional. (Last time we let a few get away with functional-looking, so if there's a problem with the wiring don't worry, the focus is on the casing it's in. Mind you, if it's good it's likely you can sell it in the trading post).

Golly people, it's just a name.

There's no gators in gatorade. There's no cabs in a cabinet.

It's just a reference to the first controller building contest.

There are no tests in a contest! Or, if that doesn't work, there are no cons in a contest. See? That one is much more optimistic!

I'm going to make an n64 controller in a gamecube shell. Maybe.

if you guys care so much, then just use bondo

It will be interesting to see what you guys make. I'm too engrossed in my projects to divert - BTW - just finished my IntoPlay PSone portable although you will need to wait for pics until I have everything else done in the project ...

SS - love your avatar mate, it is excellent; probably the best one on this site IMO.

Thanks! I agree.

I just have to find myself an n64 controller now, and then I'll get to work.

It makes me think of that Zelda commercial "It's the legend of zelda, and it's really rad. Those creatures from gannon are pretty bad. [...]"

Atari had an avatar from that commercial, didn't he? Where's he been anyway?

Post by **Triton** » Tue Jan 20, 2009 8:55 pm
