Final Robot Idea Contest Winners
Here are the final winners of the Robot Idea Contest:
Carmen Miranda Robot (head dress with a few gadgets thrown in along with fruit)-(Samantha)
You Complete Me Robot....plug and socket-(guurrrl)
Congratulations! and I will be contacting you shortly for your mailing information.
There were no 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place winners in this contest. I was top 3. Originally 14 ideas were submitted and I narrowed those down to 9. To be fair I posted an open voting poll to pick the top 3. Here are the results of the poll.
I really enjoyed reading everyone's ideas and making these robots. I'm sorry that not everyone was happy with the design of their robots, but again this was an idea not a design contest. Someone on twitter and in their blog said that I robbed someone of their idea for my own benefit. The only benefit I got from this contest was to make one of a kind figures for some awesome people based on their ideas. I paid for the supplies, I took the time to make the figures and I'm mailing them for free. I am not going to remake these robots and sell them, so I am unsure what "Benefit" this person was speaking of. Art is about interpretation and these were my interpretations of the ideas submitted. This will not detour me from having contests like this again in the future, if anything it has just reiterated that "You cannot please everyone" (:
Oh and on a related note the Dj robot created for this contest has found a home. Another blog reader has emailed me and said she would love to take him. Thank you to everyone who emailed wanting to take in this little orphan.

I didn't really win did I?
The following comments were left on my previous blog entry from the 1st announced "Winner" of the Robot Idea contest.
"yeah well done me ...NOT! Or tho your Design of a DJ Robot looks kinda cute and all, this Robot is not " Im the DJ" Designed by Kayleigh Doughty at all. So technically I didn't win - my idea was just robbed! An the people who voted to see the design brought to life where also.
Bit of a un-fair contest by a self proclaimed artists, last time i enter any more of deez! If anyone cares to disagree feel free to hit me up at kayleigh_doughty@hotmail.com - An let this be a lesson to all up and coming artists! Peace.
Ps - don't bother sending me the Robot, im cool"
This kind of confused me as the person posted this comment after direct messaging this to me on twitter
"ok cool thanks, its a shame you didn't stick to my design! It looks completely different, but still rad never the less!"
That had mad me think they thought the robot was cool but were a little upset that it wasn't completely their original design. When I first read it I felt a little bad and started to remake the figure like the original drawing submitted.I had only added more to it because I liked the idea, but the design seemed a little light to me. I was also amazed to find that this person after this continued to slam the contest on twitter and their personal blog(here).
I will say that they have every right to be upset that the figure was not their exact design, but art is about interpretation and this was my interpretation. Also As I said from the beginning this was a robot Idea contest not a robot design contest.
I have since emailed the "winner" and offered to remake the figure exactly like their original drawing. So well see what they say. Anyways moving on....
The point of this contest was to have people submit ideas for robots and the top 3 would get a one of a kind robot. I was not going to take the ideas and remake them over and over to sell. Staying true to that instead of selling the DJ robot I already have made I am going to give it away Free to the first person that emails me stating they want it lisastarchild@yahoo.com.

Free Robots!!! & A Contest!
So earlier this week I gave away 5 free D.I.Y robots on the Kid Robot forum with only one catch, the 5 people that got them have to custom them and send me photos. I can't wait to see how they turn out!
Robot Idea Contest:
Starting now until this Friday 01/08/10 I will be accepting new idea submissions for robots. This could be a theme (ie, love, valentine's day, music, art) to just a robot performing an everyday activity. You will then have the opportunity to see your idea come to life! I will pick the top 3 ideas and turn them into robot sculptures and the top 3 will receive their robot for FREE!
Your idea can be submitted as a written description, sketch or photo. You may submit your ideas in direct messages to me on Twitter http://twitter.com/lisastarchild or to lisastarchild@yahoo.com. Please put "Robot Contest" in the subject line.
For examples of robots please visit the robot section of my online shop here
I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
