This ugly tripod again? :S

Aww, last one was much more of a challenge.
Should we be harassing vendors to encourage them to donate prizes? It would be awfully cool if the thing was the prize.

LIAR!

I wouldn’t mind winning the actual item!

I’d really like to win the tripod!
I’ve allways wanted me one but never bought one. Don’t really know why… Maybe because the hacking potential of a tripod is a bit low.
Hey! That could be the next hacked gadgets challenge. Hack you tripod, send it in… and the best tripod hack wins!
