What I'm curious about is if there will be any fake-out attempts. How hard is it to take a convincing picture of such a balloon in a cornfield (or even put one there) and claim phony coordinates?
- rudyfink 17y agoThat does not seem to be strictly foreclosed by the rules ( http://networkchallenge.darpa.mil/rules.aspx http://networkchallenge.darpa.mil/rules.aspx ), but there is this nice catch all clause which I suspect would come into play ("DARPA reserves the right to disqualify a participant whose actions are deemed to violate the spirit of the competition for any reason, including but not limited to, the violation of laws or regulations in the course of participation."). I do note that "[b]alloons will be in readily accessible locations, visible from nearby roadways and accompanied by DARPA representatives." I suppose you'd want to make sure to hard check the balloons and verify the representative part.
