We received an overwhelming response to our offer to become Alpha Dogs and test out our Helios Odyssey, which proves the age-old adage, "If you build it…people would love to have it for free." Something like that anyway. So in order to properly choose the lucky few who will have a chance to help us directly and receive a Helios Odyssey of their very own to test out, we will need you to let us get to know the inner-geek. No blindfolds and darts for us this time!

Please fill out the following form and don't be afraid to over-indulge all your nerdy senses. This is to separate the mice from the men, the Urkels from the Screeches, the uber-nerds from the…regular nerds. And relax; we won't judge you…much. This is one time where, the more nerdy, the better.

Think of it as bizarro high school.

Thanks and good luck!
