    New Star Wars MIMOBOT Series coming for SDCC! Win one!

    Star Wars fans be prepared, because we're about to channel a bit of the force your way! Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 3 is almost here, and to celebrate we're giving a few of the more resourceful young Padawans out there a chance to be the first to take home our brand new Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 3 flash drives through the Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 3 Guessing Game!

    Which characters are in Series 3 you ask?

    Good question, to which we say, why don't you tell us?

    Each week between now and July 23rd we'll officially reveal the next character in the Star Wars MIMOBOT lineup through our e-newsletter. To enter the contest just make a post in our forums including your guess as to which Star Wars character will be revealed before the news breaks. Everyone who guesses correctly will be entered into a drawing, and we'll draw five winners who get a sweet 2GB MIMOBOT of that design. Not too shabby! What's more, if you're insightful enough into the dark and misty ways of Star Wars MIMOBOT mysticism, and are able to correctly guess all four characters in the order they're revealed, you'll get yourself a full set of 2GB Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 3 characters!

    Of course, you only get one guess per week, so you might want to meditate on it for a minute (I know a peaceful little swamp on Dagobah that's perfect). If the Force isn't proving to be much of a guide, maybe you should check out our past characters from Series 1 and Series 2 to help you think things through.

    The contest has already begun so be you a Jedi, a Sith or even a lowly Nerfherder, get over to the forums and post your guess now!

    Official Rules
    1) You must be a member of our forums to participate.
    2) Only one guess per week per person is allowed. A guess may only be in reference to one character. If more than one character is guessed in the post, only the first character will count.
    3) Posting multiple guesses will result in disqualification.
    4) Any editing of posts will automatically disqualify the post.
    5) Employees of Mimoco and our media partners and their families are ineligible to participate.
    6) Guesses for a given round will only be accepted from Wednesday 12:01 AM EST through Tuesday 11:59 PM EST. Each weekly round requires a guess during that round to be eligible to win that week's revealed character.
    Round 1: Jun 25 - July 1
    Round 2: July 2 - 8
    Round 3: July 9 - 15
    Round 4: July 16 - 22
    7) Weekly winners are eligible to re-enter the following week
    8) Up to five Grand Prizes (the full set of characters) will be given away; if more than five entrants guess all four characters in the correct order of revelation, five winners will be randomly selected

    Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 3 will be released at San Diego Comic Con on July 23 and will be available at the MIMOBOT lab at the same time.
