The only requirement of the contest is that the teams utilize the hardware provided to them (an eBoxII from ICOPTech), as well as build a customized image of the Windows CE operating system.
James Madison University won the contest, led by students Marcus O'Malley, Joshua Blake, Justin Creasy and Kevin Ferrell.
Their winning project was an airport security checkpoint device designed to help protect the millions of people who fly daily.
The winner of the 2005 contest was the team from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), Australia, with the "EverGreen" project.
That team was composed of Cristian Pop, Ioana Bratie, Omar Choudary and Mircea Gheorghe.
