So I can only assume that the judges decided my project wasn't 'recycled' enough. I struggled with the idea when deciding to enter since the main component is an old cell phone but since EVERYTHING in there is recycled (except for the LEDs) I went ahead and entered anyway.
That's the only reason I can think of because honestly. A bicycle bumper made out of a plastic bottle made it to the top five. So did rings made from 'recycled' christmas cards. Quoty fingers are intentional there because they're not like household recycled the author of that one worked at Borders and grabbed a bunch of packs of brand spanking new christmas cards from the trash when the company pitched the ones that didn't sell for the holidays.
Yeah, that's way cooler than a computer vision cat door. Really.
