I don't think it will be usable in any competition in the foreseeable future for a few reasons. Firstly, its using an iPhone (wireless communication device) which is illegal, and second its not using the DriverStation, which is a non-negotiable requirement for competing. [If FIRST ever decides to relax these rules] I think the only types of feedback available on iPhones are visual, audio, and tactile (vibrate), which I'm sure could be incorporated into the app, although I would question whether or not it would help
