Using libraries for the contest.

Hi,

I was wondering if i'm allowed to use published libraries from users of this site in my own entry for the Circuitcellar contest. If i'm allowed would this mean that will get a lower score for not being original enough ? The libraries would obviously be only a small part of the overall project submitted by me to the contest.

Thank you.

Hi Alin,

Using published libraries is certainly fine, and even encouraged. Re-inventing the wheel is less likely to get you as good results as if you push further by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Good luck!

Simon
