In 18 hours, learned about the Human Interface Device operating mode for Raspberry Pi Zero prototyping boards, modified Open Source libraries to create the functionality needed, and wired up a programmable platform-agnostic wired controller capable of sending arbitrary keystrokes to any device with a USB A input. We were awarded first place, along with a grant of $1,000 in order to continue our project.
