Winner for Cubicle Toy Design Contest sponsored by Desktop Engineering, AMD FirePro & Dell

The winner of the Cubicle Toy Design Contest sponsored by AMD FirePro Graphics, Dell and Desktop Engineering is Mark Norwood. He will receive a Dell Precision Workstation with professional AMD FirePro graphics.

Of the three finalists, Jason Cox managed to convey his remote-controlled mouse in solid form, along with exploded views showing how internal subcomponents would fit together. Ray Kelly’s detailed bottle cap blaster SolidWorks assembly gave you a clear idea how the internal mechanism would work. Mark Norwood’s water-spraying Sherman tank renderings and transparent views show how he planned to fit the water-carrying tube inside the tank’s shell.

In the end, the sheer amount of CAD and visualization efforts that went into the project, along with a fully assembled physical prototype, tipped the scale in Mark Norwood’s favor.
