<H2>FAQs:</H2>
Q:  Can I bring to the hackathon any commercially available microcontroller? For example esp8266?
A:  You are welcome to bring any hardware and use any platform for the hackathon.  The only restriction is that the code/app must be written at the event during the allotted time.
---------------------------
Q: Hello, I am interested event. I am collecting team. Question is how many members have a single team ??  
A.  You are free to have a single member on your team or join another team at the event. Before the event begins, we will work the room to make sure everyone has a team.
--------------------------
Q:  Hello, I wanted to edit names of members of our team but any time I edit information on a single ticket it changes on all tickets. Thus my name and contact is on all 5 tickets.  In T&C you declare that names of all members of the must be included.  
A: No worries, we can make the changes for you at the event. 
-----------------------
Q:  Hello, I would like to ask you if it is possible to use any platform for development of an solution for V4 Hackaton 2017. I´m asking mainly because it is an AT&T hosted event and use of competitive IBM Bluemix cloud platform might be unacceptable.
A:  Please feel free to use any platform for your application during our event.  We are offering support for the AT&T M2X API and the R-cloud platform, but you are not required to use them for the competition.  The key issue is that the app must be written during the timeframe of the contest.
