Engadget's recession antidote: win an OWI Robotic Arm Edge!
This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking.

We'll be handing out a new gadget every day to lucky readers until we run out of stuff or companies stop sending things. Today we've got an OWI Robotic Arm Kit on offer. Read the rules below (no skimming -- we're omniscient and can tell when you've skimmed) and get commenting! Hooray for free stuff!Huge thanks to OWI for providing the gear!The rules: Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for "fixing" the world economy, that'd be sweet too. You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.) If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine. Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad. Winner will be chosen randomly.

Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.

OWI releases in-wall amplifier to power up your in-wall speakers
For you out there with the whole-home custom installs who have run out of receiver channels of your universe or are simply unwilling to run amplified audio everywhere throughout the compound, OWI has a clever in-wall amplifier to power up your in-wall speakers and maintain that invisible audio system look. The AMP1SGB is a 25-Watt Class AB amp that can drive four speakers and fits in a double-gang box right inside your wall; all you need to do is find a plug for the wall-wart. It's definitely convenient, but we'd be willing to bet it's not the last word in audio quality, but seriously, when was the last time you were let down by the audio quality in your bathroom?
