I just added the prizes for july. Most of them at least. I have about a half dozen more that I will be adding today/tommorrow. If you haven't visited the Community Credit Prize Page you can see them here. I must say that my two of my favorites are the USB Missile Launcher and the Lav Nav. The remote controlled UFO is pretty amazing too, IMHO.
The original remote control X-UFO
The brand new X-UFO, recently unveiled is undoubtedly the DB’s of radio controlled flying. The unique RC XUFO from Silverlit Electronics is probably the most amazing and original Flying machine ever seen in the UK
Completely ready to fly for up to five minutes under full three dimensional control, the X-UFO incorporates the latest miniature technology, utilising four powerful electric motors with two pairs of contra-rotting propellers and an innovative electronic gyroscope, for incredible stability.
The X UFO is made of tough EPP Foam and composite plastics. The X-UFO maybe flown up to 100m indoors or outside in calm conditions. One red and three blue flashing LED lights not only assist orientation and indicate when the gyro is up to speed, but also make it look just like a real UFO, especially when flown I the dark!!!

Somebody annoying you in your cubicle? Blast em!
The USB Missile Launcher is the ultimate deterrent against those annoying people who lurk around your desk because they've nothing better to do. The Launcher holds three foam missiles, and Missile Command is located on your desktop (which is a great deal more convenient than having it buried under Cheyanne Mountain in Colorado - but that's Norad for you). You simply use your mouse to control the launcher which rotates and tilts as you zero in on your victim, that, despite being deeply childish, is immensely satisfying. The Missile Launcher fires its three foam missiles sequentially as you hit the 'Fire' button, and though collateral damage is minimal, the fun factor is exceedingly high. We just love USB toys

Devour Your Gaming Opponents
How can you improve on FPS gaming keyboard perfection? The Wolf Claw Devour FPS Keypad follows in the footsteps of the elite Wolf Claw II... one of the most highly regarded gaming keyboards ever constructed. Where the Wolf Claw II offered both a gaming keypad and keyboard in one, the Devour slims the design down by offering only the deadly circular Wolf Claw key configuration for gaming. This frees you up to use your existing keyboard for non-gaming functions. In addition to the 40 specialized keys for FPS gaming, handy volume controls and 12 function keys ensure everything needed for maximum in-game efficiency is at your fingertips.

With full flight control in any direction you can make the helicopter take off from your desk then land on your hand. It can hover in place almost motionless like some futuristic robotic insect. We had 3-year old children fly this helicopter without damaging it. It is like some kind of R/C space time continuum paradox. ind seeing expensive toys crash and smash into small bits.

Galileo's Spheres
In May of 1609, Galileo Galilei did not invent the telescope. He heard about it while searching online for an inexpensive nose hair trimmer. What he did do, however, is improve on the design and use it to study heavenly bodies (the Moon, Jupiter, the Zambini sisters, etc.) His revolutionary discoveries led to our expanded knowledge of the Sun and the moons of Jupiter, and helped prove that the Earth was not the center of the universe (which was the accepted belief at the time). In his honor, we present the Galileo Gravitator.
Each Gravitator is a combination of 16th century artistry and 21st century technology. With minimal effort you can magnetically hover one of the four included celestial spheres. LEDs in the base and top of the Gravitator shine on the sphere with a bluish-purple glow. The LEDs also help you find the balance of the sphere, allowing you to set it all up in mere seconds. There's also a rotation switch (if you want the sphere to spin slowly) and a fine tuning knob (to make sure the balance is perfect). The Gravitator is a futuristically classic embellishment to any office or home, and a great experiment in gravity.

Life is just not complete without an animatronic guinea pig
Aside from being able to wander about without clonking himself, he has different moods and behaviours depending on how you treat him, and makes more than thirty different sounds (which we're guessing is a great deal more than your average Guinea Pig). If you don't play with him he becomes lonely and scared, and he'll go off and hide in a dark place, but if you stroke him he'll feel loved, and will be happy. Gupi can also hear you, and will react to voices and sounds, depending on his mood. When happy he'll actually come running at you when you call him, but when he's scared he can't stand noise and will run away from it. When happy, Gupi will also follow a light beam so you can lead him wherever you want him to go.

Watch out for the Minotaur
We haven't named this the 3D Labyrinth Puzzle after the Greek mythological labyrinths for nothing. Now, there may not be a Minotaur lurking in there, but this puzzle is so skilfully designed - and nigh on impossible to crack - that it had us puzzling over it for hours.
The objective is to guide the two balls inside the puzzle from the octagonal entrance hole all the way to the round exit hole. Sound easy enough? Think again! There are 26 'rooms' within the spherical puzzle, and the balls will only pass through the rooms and their holes when the colours match up on both sides of the hole.
It involves a lot of twisting and turning, biting your tongue in concentration and snapping at anyone who dares interrupt your train of thought to get these colours lined up, and the balls to the exit, but boy is it satisfying!
