iRobot CreateiRobot, keepers of the roomba, has announced that has teamed up with sites Instructables and Tom’s Hardware Guide to create a contest for all you wannabe inventors.

“Robots spark the creative juices of people with a wide variety of interests because we all have dull, dirty or dangerous tasks that we would rather delegate to a robot,” said Helen Greiner, co-founder and chairperson of the company.

If you would like to enter your own bot idea, submit images and description of your creation to iRobot and you might win $5,000. They are also offering a limited amount of scholarship packages if you have a design in mind but cannot afford the $129.00 Create Kit. Winners will be announced August 31. We’re thinking that maybe we can encourage the guy with the Beer-Launching Fridge to adapt his and make it a “brewba.”
