came across an application for the 2010 ces innovation awards. >> i got on ces' web site, and i started reading, trying to figure out exactly, you know, what you would do at ces, and what it takes to be there. >> that's when my wife sent me an e-mail and said there's a contest at ces for the most innovative product. she goes, it would be really great if we could ender it that. >> i did a lot of research and tried to make sure it was a unique idea. and i just kind of had this feeling in my gut that we were going to win. >> but before they could even think about winning, lori and henry had to go through the rigorous process of applying for the award. and they only had 48 hours to get it done. >> they wanted a picture of the zomm, everything to enter this contest. so we wound up creating this wood chip that looked similar to a zomm, painted it as best we could, and sent that in as our specimen. we sat in our home for 24 hours
