The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

OK, entries in. I am really impressed with the organization of this year's awards. It seems like every year we learn from our mistakes. I think this will be the best yet.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm so pleased to see that everything is running smoothly. So far, there's only been two problems with submissions, and both parties have been contacted regarding those problems. Please check your e-mails, everyone. If all your entries have been approved, you will receive an e-mail informing you of that. If they have not been approved, then, you will receive an e-mail from either Zero or I stating the problem and asking you to fix it. Any changes that we ask must be taken care of by the end of submission period, or November 18, 2008 at 0000 hrs PST. This is also why an entrant should avoid submitting their entries until the last minute; if changes must be made, there is no way we'll be able to inform you prior to the deadline. In the event that problem with an entrant's submission is not fixed prior to the deadline, either we will approve your qualified entries(if any) and/or move an item to another catagory where we feel it fits best.

I updated the totals on the first page of the entries received for each catagory, but I'll post it here just to make it easier for those who are keeping up on the latest breaking news.

I also must commend you both for an amazing ABA setup this year! I couldn't wait to get home from work and submit my entries. The website is ridiculously easy to navigate and for submitting entries. I'm really looking forward to the outcome! Good luck to all the participants!

I participated this year because it seemed a lot easier, both the technological and organizational aspects. Hehe. Honestly I just get easily confused. Thanks for your hard work. :)

Just a quick update: everyone who had a small issue with their entries should be taken care of now. If you had entries awaiting approval (pending CB and I making some changes to your entries for you), you should now be receiving the email letting you know your entries were approved ^_^.

In case anyone is curious, I did a quick tally and we now have 55 entrants! :)

So it looks like all of the categories have meet the minimum entry and judging by the amount of entries in some categories, they may be tough to cast votes in.

Hmm. Interesting comparison.
