Tom's Hardware Guide and iRobot Launch Create Challenge Contest for Robot Enthusiasts
Los Angeles, California, May 16, 2007 - Tom's Hardware Guide (http://www.tomshardware.com) and iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT) today launched the inaugural iRobot Create Challenge (http://www.tomshardware.com/irobot), a contest for aspiring roboticists, developers, hobbyists, and students. The iRobot Create programmable robot platform enables users to design and assemble new robots for both practical and fun purposes. The grand prize is $5,000. iRobot is also offering a limited number of free scholarship robot packages for those who wish to enter the main contest, but do not have the ability to purchase an iRobot Create kit themselves.
We teamed with iRobot to offer this challenge to our tech-savvy audience who loves electronics and innovation, said Barry Gerber, Editorial Technical Director of TG Publishing. Readers of Tom's Hardware Guide and grass-roots roboticists get to showcase their talents through the iRobot Create Challenge.
Tom's Hardware Guide is a popular online media publication and a vibrant center of intelligent and trusted content for technology enthusiasts, said Helen Greiner, Co-founder and Chairman, iRobot. Were delighted to be working with TG Publishing to launch our very first competition for robot hobbyists, the iRobot Create Challenge Contest.

The platform provides access to robot sensors and actuators via an open interface. iRobot Create also features standard connections for electronics and threaded mounting holes that allow users to secure their inventions to the robot, streamlining the integration of third-party electronics such as sensors, cameras, arms and wireless connections.
