sheepdog44 -- I'd been following the Edison2 VLC thread in the Aerodynamics forum. I found the competition at Local Motors before I found this thread so I will quote myself here:

I stopped by Local Motors and saw that there was a design competition to design the door handle for the VLC:
https://www.localmotors.com/edison2-...re-in/2012/09/
They offered $6K in prize money to the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place winners, with 10 entries. For the door handle. Not bad odds.
Does anyone know how much it would have cost to design the door handle themselves? Does this represent a savings? Did it result in a design nobody would have thought of otherwise?
