Ryan from Cruzio pitched a zany hardware idea: a remote control helicopter that follows you around and plays music, shines lights, projects voices. The IFO, “Identified Fun Object.”  The crowd went wild.

So many more pitches! About 30 in all.

Once ideas were announced, people found each other and started forming teams.
