Wow, that was truly unexpected, the competition year on year has been harder and harder with some super polished and awesome projects out there. The Hackaday prizes are always a rollercoaster ride of emotions and they require so much work to meet the prize guidelines, so it's always a shame to see some really awesome projects not make it through. Don't lose focus though, keep going and get them out to the world!

It's been an awesome journey this past year for MappyDot. The biggest challenge has been actually getting to the point where there is a tangible thing people can actually purchase and use. That has honestly been the most rewarding part of all of this with some good feedback coming in.

A big thank you must go out to everyone that has supported the project so far as well as the judges!
