The details are being finalized so I cannot comment specifically on the device/devices that will be used. However, for the first season we will not be using a headless, single-board Android device. Instead, we will be using a handheld device (tablet or phone form factor) with a color touch screen, a USB OTG port, and support for WiFi Direct. The devices will have a built in camera and internal sensors (gyro/accel and GPS). The device will have a QualComm Snapdragon CPU.
