What it does

• its a green lego brick
• if u step on the lego brick it will scream at u
• in
• soviet
• russia
• you
• dont
• scream
• from
• lego
• brick
• lego
• brick
• scream
• from
• you
• u can also make get request to the following path: /img/ where data is the base64 encoded data of your image using (+-) as altchars instead of (+/) and the program will preform complex analysis on your image

How we built it

• we made an app that uses camera library for react native
• stick phone in tissue box
• the phone periodically takes picture
• it converts the image data into base64 with "+-" as the alt chars (for url format)
• it sends it to the server with a get request
• the server performs image analysis using complex algorithms and data structures
• the result is packed into a compact JSON format and sent back to the client
• the client uses the data to decide whether a foot is stepping on the brick
• if something is stepping on the brick it screams

Challenges we ran into

• sending base64 picture kinda slow
• so we had to do some compression funkywunk

Accomplishments that we're proud of

IT WORKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!11!!@@!!@!@!1!!!!!1!11!!!!

What we learned

• how to take pictures using react native
