This week MCM Electronics launched a Maker Madness battle royale bringing together the top maker products from their online catalog. The top four candidates will duke it out from regions including "Single Board Computers", "Wearable Microcontrollers", "Robotics" and "Rapid Prototyping Kits", but there will be only one winner.

Each day on their Facebook page, a new matchup will occur. One will advance. One will fall. It's up to community members to decide who moves on. You can cast your vote each day by commenting on the matchup post with your vote. The championship will take place on April 06, 2015. The winner will be chosen April 08, 2015.

No surprise to avid Makers, the Sitara™-processor-powered BeagleBone Black has already advanced to round two after beating out the Intel Galileo. In the next round, BeagleBone Black faces the newly announced Raspberry Pi. The match kicks off at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 31 and ends on Wednesday, April 1 at 8:00 a.m.

  

Follow along with the madness here and make sure on Tuesday you head over and cast your vote!
