My team did design an app one year, it was about educating and warning people about dangerous weather. It was never actually completed but at the time we went to tournament, they were having conversations and had submitted a proposal to someone at Google. They had drawings and an explanation of how it would work, as well as copies of some of the communication. It was well received by judges.

Subject: [VADCFLL-L] Thoughts on team having an app built
 
My team would like to build an app as their innovative solution to this years project.  It's nothing like sticking an iPhone in dirty water and having the speakers somehow displace contaminants to the bottom.  It's more to help raise awareness and potentially provide support.

My question is: Can they have an app built at their direction and have it count as "their" solution?

The fallback, and maybe even main presentation for judges, would be a poster board sized phone to help simulate the app experience.  They'd still describe their problem and how the app fit into their solution, they just wouldn't have an app.

Thanks,

Jeff
