HackadayPrize2016 Entry P4: ???
10/03/2016 at 00:21 • 0 commentsNot even sure what to even add in this log. Just trying to get some points in the "Are there four project logs?" category. The rules never said substantial information is needed in all four logs!
( And, I know for a fact the project won't win many points in the "Is the project well documented?" cateogry. )
To make up for a terrible, final log, here's a picture of Kollmer trying to go Super Saiyan during the Hackathon! Christian is also intrigued by this!

HackadayPrize2016 Entry P3: Discuss how this challenge will work to alleviate or solve the problem.
10/03/2016 at 00:06 • 0 commentsWell, this project heavily relies on the flexing of muscles for human-computer interaction, instead of fingers. Say a child is handicapped in that they don't have functioning hands or even legs. Well, why not construct controllers such that ANYONE can use them? The cool aspect of the EMG/EEG car is that the car can easily be controlled, with little effort, and without the need to press a button or have a lot of dexterity! In fact, the idea of the project can be expanded to include other muscles in the body ( and perhaps better methods for interpreting EEGs ) in order to implement other buttons!

HackadayPrize2016 Entry P2: Discuss the challenge which has been chosen as the subject of the project.
10/03/2016 at 00:04 • 0 commentsThe original objective of the Brain-Computer Interface ( BCI ) Hackathon was to create something cool with the tools provided at the Hackathon. However, during a discussion with a few of the judges, the team realized the project can be applied in many useful scenarios, for instance the EMG/EEG Car could be used as a cool toy. Another useful example, which was briefly discussed, was to assist handicapped people, particularly people who to enjoy fun activities as much as someone who isn't handicapped!

HackadayPrize2016 Entry P1: Assistive Technologies
10/03/2016 at 00:03 • 0 commentsHonestly, I don't think this project has a chance of winning, considering it was a last minute decision to submit and the original objective of the project was to compete in a Hackathon. But, what the heck! Team GetRekt has agreed to at least try, so here goes nothing!...
So after actually reading through the rules, it turns out there needs to be at least four different logs! In an effort to comply with that rule, this log will now be split into four separate logs!
