Seeking Feedback on Kit and Prizes for Design Challenge

Hi All. I want to get some feedback on a Design Challenge I'm running.

It's the Eye on Intelligence Design Challenge.

It's an embedded vision challenge, using the Digilent Arty Z7 Dev board.

I'm offering test equipment as prizes (digital oscilloscope, handheld oscilloscope, dc power supplies, etc.) Click on the link above to see the prizes.

I'm interested in getting feedback on the kits and prizes:

I'm the only person left in my team after the recent layoffs. While I'm relieved to keep my job, it means a lot more work. To escape the stress, I will be excited to start the Eye on Intelligence Challenge…

Thanks for the congratulations! I didn't remember that technique of using FFT to find edges. It's spectacular and makes a lot of sense. I just did a test with OpenCV and numpy that can be easily transferred…

I submitted my application for the challenge! I came up with an idea for a smart scale that weighs bulk fruit in the supermarket. It classifies fruits using embedded vision and create barcodes right on…

I selected others for "Do prizes need to be expanded". I incline more towards software field. The amount of time I need a top of the line power supply station is negligible and I don't have much need for digital oscilloscope either as I deal with digital signals that has its own analyser. So prizes that can be used by non hardware design engineers would be appealing.

Any suggestions for useful software prizes? Video editing software perhaps? A DAW?

i've been looking at previous contests, and some had laptops as prizes. i think laptops are equally useful to software and hardware people

I have offered laptops before. The feedback I received last time is that members preferred test equipment. Of course, one needs to flexible. But I won't be offering a laptop for this challenge.

I was thinking more along the lines of license for any fpga software or keil or some software testing suites.
