17+ last year there was allready a remote controlled lawnmower. so its been invented, yet the robot is the only one in the southern hemisphere, and can help you in life. where as a lawnmower. like WOW a remote control lawnmower. they could just get a son / grandson to mow the lawns . stupid judgeing to be honest. shouldlook deeper into it
@mod_bola
Projects in the competition are judged on a number of different criteria, such as: is it a new and novel idea, does it show evidence of technological sophistication, does it fulfil a need etc. Each project is considered entirely on its own merits regardless of what has been entered in the past. This is why a robotic arm can do well in the competition if it's a great concept and design, despite the fact that they're a common entry. Why? Because the entrant still had to design and build a robotic arm, which is not easy to do. Also, a later robotic arm might be different or better than one that was submitted in previous years.
Kevin saw a need to help his grandparents mow their lawn, and he applied technology to meet that need [creating a fantastic design in the process.] That's what Bright Sparks is all about, and Kevin should be proud.
