   This sounds like a great opportunity! I wish we would’ve known about it a little earlier. I’ll have to start brainstorming some ideas.

   How many universities are involved in this? Is it open to the public or by invitation only?

   This would be an awesome opportunity. considering the first step is due next week, I guess we will have to start thinking now. I wonder how many people enter.

   The main question is, once we submit our ideas, who owns the intellectual property rights? Entering a competition for the chance of winning a little money doesn’t really make a lot of sense if Motorola becomes the rightful owner of the ideas and the potential royalties that go along with them.

   This is a great opportunity for everybody. there is really no reason to not enter this contest. Just look at the prize money.

   $10000 for an idea sounds like a good bargain. I have a concept that I have been thinking about so count me in.

    Wish I had know about this earlier too, but that doesn’t mean its not possible, Should be interesting to see if I can crank this out in the next week.

    This looks like a good way for a beginning entrepreneur to get going. They just provide an idea and make some money, with their winnings they could even start doing more to make some of their ideas reality.

    Good thing is that you don’t have to show the end product or its business plan. Only its feasibility. Personally I never liked business plans.

    I am ready to get together a team and start brainstorming. The $10,000 would be a start to get things rolling.

    Like Hank said in class, this competition usually does not receive many offers like the Burton D. Morgan Competition. It is time for us to take advantage and get some money in our pockets!

    While this may be true, $10,000 is a considerable amount of money. It will not be a walk in the park. I’m excited about how eager everyone is to take advantage of this opportunity but don’t let the $10,000 deceive you. It will be a tough, lengthy process that everyone will be forced to complete before the first deadline. Is everyone ready for that time commitment??

    I for one have too many things going on, researching feasibility seems like something that could take a little bit of time, and frankly I will need to wait till the summer. Once I’m done with Rube I will look into other competitions. great tidbit to think about though if you have the time. Kamran’s got it.

    I was thinking about joining this competition. I think that it would be pretty fun, and $10,000 isn’t too shabby!

    this is something I REALLY wanted to do, but just didnt have enough time or enough notice. do we have this every year? because i would be more than happy to spend my summer thinking up of product feasiblity ideas and putting them into words. i really want to do this next year, does it take place every semester?
