Another Contest WIN! (w/ Electric Motorcycle Project)

Yea! Very excited, I just placed in the Instructables MAKE IT REAL CHALLENGE with instructions I put up teaching people how I built my own electric motorcycle.

This was a big contest with a grand-prize, ten first prizes, a Judges Prize, and a Green Judges Prize.

Guess which I won? That's right, the GREEN JUDGES PRIZE! That means the judges just plain LOVED my project AND gave it special recognition for recycling, energy conservation, and DIY eco-friendliness!

My prize will be an UP! 3D printer. I've never used 3D printers before, but I hope I can use it to make enclosures , stand-offs, and other parts for EV-related electronics and clean transportation projects. Heck, maybe even a 3D-printed stick-shift knob!
