I see I don't need to give any of my standard warnings
For what it is worth (nothing), my understanding of last years rules agrees with (my understanding of) your understanding.
The best advice I can give you is to plan your project out into small, proveable chunks. At each step along the path, you should be able to point to something and say "this proves that it is working the way I think it is".
For example, it may be worthwhile to make a simple version in which it simply reports whether or not something is true using a simple pin. You can attach an LED or a multimeter to this and watch it blink.
Also, don't be intimidated by the PSoC's programming environment. If you already know C++, you are well on your way. Again, just start simple.
As to its hardware configuration, this is done graphically. The interface is relatively straight forward, but I'd do a tutorial or two first just to get a lay of the land.
