You can still send an n900 into orbit, and take pictures too!!!!

    Sorry QB the new winner is not my” Etch-a-Txt” submission, but a similar one that draws pictures.

  2. Here are some videos of some rockets I built that carry video cameras, none carried a cellphone, but the idea is the same :-)

    Congrats to the new winner, interesting to see how your algorithm for converting bitmaps into x,y coordinates will work. I had exactly the same idea, but after some investigation it was deemed to tricky to get the etch a sketch to render photos that looked like the original. Hence why I went the display a txt message route.

  3. @QB etch-a-txt didn’t win (boo), it is a drawing version. Look at Pinter75’s “My Submissions” post, he talks about doing an image version, lol at the reasons he didn’t. Unlucky.
