Introduction | Description and Rules

Machines, some are made for transportation, some for serving human needs, some for military uses or anything that needs ultimate power and functionality. Nature has always been a permanent inspiration for these creations of the mankind, especially Animals. Now it's your turn to come up with your "Bio-Machine" for no matter what purpose, could be a 'Robot', a 'Vehicle' or a 'Biomech' inspired by any existing or imaginary living organism. Don't just copy an animal! Feel free to let your wild creativity feed your entry for this unique challenge! Can you impress Scott Robertson with it? Now that's a challenge.

Before anything make sure you read the rules and ask us any questions you have. You have exactly 90 days, the sooner you start the better! May 5th is the deadline. Good luck!
