We’re giving away amazing kits from our new Make: Ultimate Kit Guide EVERY DAY — thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, including MakerBots!
To celebrate the release of our latest publication, the Make: Ultimate Kit Guide 2012 (and its companion website), we’re giving away at least one of the cool kits reviewed in the issue each day during the holiday season.
Today’s giveaway is for an Arduino ADK Tinkerkit (a $359 value.) Here is Make Intern Tyler Moskowite’s review from the issue:
Android rocked the physical computing landscape last spring when it announced the Android Open Accessory Development Kit (ADK), an Arduino-based platform that combines the brains and connectivity of the Android with Arduino’s wealth of open source wares for controlling physical devices. The ADK presents almost limitless potential for projects.
Now the ADK TinkerKit unleashes this potential with the new Arduino Mega ADK (also sold separately for $85), which interfaces with an Android device via a USB host, and a multitude of modules such as LEDs, relays, joysticks, potentiometers, touch and temperature sensors, and many more. One caveat: the documentation on how to work with this technology, which bridges the Arduino and Android environments, is still sparse, and working with this kit is not for the faint of heart.
To be eligible for today’s giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment below in this post. The entry period for today’s prize will be until 11:59pm PST tonight. We’ll choose one person at random, you’ll be notified by email, and you’ll have 48 hours to respond. The Winners List is kept on the Giveaway landing page. That’s it! No purchase necessary or anything else to do. Please leave only one comment per post. You can enter as many giveaways as you like until you win. This giveaway is for US residents only. You also must be 18 years old to enter (Kids: Ask your parents to enter). See the Kit-A-Day Giveaway landing page for full sweepstakes details and Official Rules.
Important Note: If you enter this drawing, when it’s over, please check the place where you registered to comment (eg. Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter). Some people are winning these kits and then not responding when we send them a message using the available means of contacting them. We want to make sure you get your giveaway!

Awesome kit, great for teaching
This looks cool.
i will solve all the world’s problems with this kit. everything will be arduinolicious.
gimme gimme!
I continue to lack the randomness necessary to be selected a winner. Perhaps today fate, divine intervention, pastafarian blessings or blind luck will prevail. I would have thrown in karma but it tends to be a relationship best described with bouncing rubber balls in a vacuum and the others are easier to assign blame.
This comment will surely put me over the top.

I’ve been meaning to build a Guitar Hero/Rock Band robot, and I need an excuse to learn digital signal processing.
Yowz!
neat
Wow! This looks Great!
me want me want
cool fun toys!
Hey, tinkering is basically all I know how to do with an arduino!
Upon not winning this I will assume Make Magazine and everyone involved personally hates me. PERSONALLY. To my FACE.
These are the droids I’m looking for…
yes please
“working with this kit is not for the faint of heart” It’s OK, I’m willing to risk it.
I’d love one of these kits!
Boy, all the fun I could have with this…
Today’s my lucky day. I can feel it!
Please!!!!
Do want.
I thinker I want to tinker like a stinker!
Oh what fun that would be.
It’s the holy grail of tinker kits!
This would go handy with my spare android device.
This would let me get into Arduino!
Sign me up!
I’d like to tinker with that!
Cool!
Awesome!

Tinker, Tailor, Solder, Want!
Happy Holidays Makers
Please let me have it.
Sproing
I have a Droid X and am handy with Arduino- having this kit would be awesome!
Having this would change the world.
If I win this one, I’ll probably give it to my son. That is, if somebody can pry that Arduino from my cold, dead fingers. ;)
Now this I have a few ideas for
I would like to win this.
Why Not?!!??!
Whow this is really a great kit to have!
This is so cool!
I would love to win this.
Very Cool!
This is awesome. Thank you and Merry Christmas
I’m beginning to lose hope of ever winning anything
here kitty kitty.
yes please!
Looks awesome!
Think of all the things I could “Make”
I like! I want! Make it so!
So say we all!
Please, GOD!!! Let me win this time!!!
DEFINITELY in for this one. When I saw this on Make:LIVE I thought it looked awesome, and then when I looked it up I got a bit of sticker shock(understatement). Winning this would be almost as cool as winning a Thing-O-Matic………hey, I did say ALMOST. Wining this would take the sting out of not winning that.
More Arduino,more,more!
Wooooo
I must have missed the email yesterday that said “I won.”
I had a sandwich for lunch. It was good.
It’d be nice to have all those breakout boards…
Dear Make, I’ve been a good student this year!
This kit is as slick as a Bucky ball is spherical, winning would feel like a holiday miracle.
Don’t ding me for the sappy poem, couldn’t help it. Christmas songs blaring in the background.
I’ll be home for Christmas… you can plan on meeeee.
Don’t you understand, Tink?
Type your comment where?
thanks for the chance.
Yes, please.
I don’t even know what all those pieces are! That is part of the point of Arduino though (learning).
Merry Christmas, MAKE!
Awesome! Now that’s a kit! I’d love to see it on the bench here!
worth a try i guess
yes yes
OMG I “need” an Arduino Mega right now!
me wantee
I want for Christmas is an Arduino!
“These aren’t the droids you’re looking for…”
I’ve been really good this year, Santa. I promise!
Like electronic legos! (ok, only sorta)
It’s like electronic legos! (ok, only sorta)
try, try again

Reading these comments is about as interesting as reading Reddit…
Sparse documentation compensated for with exceptionally creative capacity!
nice
The missus will love this.
Can one have too many Arduinos?
oh yeah
Working with so many awesome extras would be a blast.
I want to build a homebrewing system automated with an Arduino. This would be my ticket! BEER FOR ALL MY NERDY FRIENDS!!!
One for me please!
Would love to win this!
Perhaps today is the day
I need this to become an evil engineer [insert evil laugh]
Technically this is not spam. Actually in no sense of the word is this spam. This is only a regular old comment from someone hoping that you’re not screening out entries from foreign IP addresses, cause I’m just travelling.
wouldn’t mind it
I noticed they haven’t put the name of the Makerbot winner on the list yet, I’m guessing you sent the email to the wrong address. Send it again.
If I don’t claim the makerbot in time you can always send me the tinkerkit.
Thanks!
Ding!
There are big dreams and little dreams. This would be somewhere in the middle. Count me in!
Too sweet!
Nirvana!
must have this
Ohhh man! I have always piecemealed parts siphoned from broken stuff, needless to say they dont work too well. This would be a dream come true!
Now that’s a nifty kit!
I’m in.
Thank you!
What are we going to do today, Pinky? Same thing we do every night, try to take over the world with an Arduino.
very, very cool!
ooh neat one – yes please
Man this would be perfect to win! Trying to get my invention to win a startup incubator contest.
Nice!
This would make another fine addition to my cluttered workspace
Awesome kit today
Tinker I would!
this would be a lot of fun to tinker with!!!
Hook me up!
Of all the shiny you dangle, (so far) this one would be most useful to me.
fun! fun! fun!
Wow, lots of stuff there!
Look at all those connectable parts!
Ohh android interface. Do want.
OK, I’m game…
I’ll take two.
That looks like fun
I would like these; For the last 2 days the tag/kit-a-day wasn’t showing the latest item. So It would tell me the past item (the topmost) was closed for comments. That was frustrating, as I new in the mean time there’d be 600+ comments on the actual contest item that I couldn’t see yet.
Merry Christmas!!! :)
blinking lights! Cool!
Wow. This is very cool. Did I tell you that my middle name is ‘Tinker’? :)
I’d probably finally get a smartphone!
Show up, see what happens.
This would be so nice!
Make it so!
Here’s my comment.

Love to have it.
I do so hope I get to walk away with a neat Arduino kit….

Looking forward to your visit!
Oh, the Gadgets We’ll Make!
We now have coyotes in our neighborhood that I need to protect pork chop, our pet pig from. I am working on designing a system with an automatic feeder and bell to get him into the pig shed in the afternoons and a security door to keep him in and the coyotes out. I am modifying an old garage door opener to close the door once he is inside and open it in the mornings so he can roam and root around the yard. This set would be prefect for this project – PLEASE. I thank you and Pork Chop will thank you.
cool
Klaatu! Beretta! Nick’s toe!
Yes, please this would be great!!

I would put this to very good use. Did anyone ever notice on Fraggle Rock just how much reuse and creating or making went on in that show. Doc was always doing something. The Fraggles made a few things out of various stuff and the Doozers well they never stop building unless they ran out of supplies or room.
