is there any guidance on what we are expected to hack? Does it need to be something for the DeLorean? Does it have to be based on hardware a sponsor provides? Will we be forming up teams like they do for Startup Weekend?
Can I bring a project that I've wanted to work on but haven't done anything other than gathering the hardware pieces? Is Paul going? Then you can just give him the $1000 prize now. (Not that I'm going with expectation of winning).
