Welcome to this year's voting in Design News and Allied Electronics' annual Gadget Freak of the Year contest!

This year, we have a vaunted, select field of wicked gadgetry. They are all great, so you, the reader, have a tough task: Choose the best one of the lot.

Watch the following six videos, click the project page to learn more about each gadget, and then cast your vote! In November, we will tally up the votes and announce the lucky winner.

The Gadget Freak of the Year winner will win a check for $6,000 and a trip to our awards ceremony in Anaheim in February 2016. Two runners-up will be awarded $2,000 each.
