    Well spotted. In truth its been a really long time since I was asked my age, and since I don't qualify for age related discounts, it might be while before I get asked again. 2015-2007 means you need to…

    Don't worry too much, this is obviously a copy/paste issue. Perhaps a more generic line should be added instead, like: "All participants must be aged at least 18 at the start of the challenge".

    If your proposal is accepted you get the Kit for free.  If you do not win a proposal, then you can still participate but you must buy all components.

     

    Either way the cost is just the components you use except the ones you may get free.

    You don't have to use all the components, but at least some of them should form the basis of your project. You are also free to add components of your own in case you need additional functionality.

    I am still 16, but I want to join the competition! Is the age restriction final?

    Can I also incorporate an Arduino into my project? I don't think the Raspberry Pi has enough GPIO pins for my project and I want to use the Arduino as a sort of keyboard input device for the Pi.

    Should not be a problem, I proposed something similar and have done so with earlier design challenges as well.

    Does anyone know, when scoring the projects do they take into account how many parts I used from the original kit or does it matter?  I would assume if I can use all the parts from the kit that is better than if I used none, but maybe not?

    It is not a count thing, but how good is the idea.
