Google I/O 17 SL, by Mobitel - InspireSL

Hi everyone. I'll be blogging about Mobitel's I/O '17 SL event over on Facebook, Twitter, and here. Thanks to Mobitel for hosting the event, and to Readme for the great seats!

InspireSL competition.
The first thing on Mobitel's agenda - the Inspire SL Competition's final round. Some excellent talent on display here. May the best team win.

Teams and products

• I seem to have missed the first team to go up, Plexa by Datacon.
• The second product and team, Lawyered by Hustlers, is a product that aims to make the law more accessible to the common man by deciphering the legalspeak usually associated with legal documents.
• The third product and team, Bazura by Verzions, is a product that all IT undergraduates have probably toyed with at one point or another - how to streamline the process of trash collection. This project, has a unique twist in that it allows people to bid on other people's trash, thereby streamlining the recycling process.
• The fourth product/team, SafeAgri by AgroInventors, a one-man team which makes their presentation in Sinhalese. Their product, SafeAgri, aims to solve the problem of the overuse of pesticides in commercial agricultural application via the use of a delightfully '60s sci-fi looking device, that apparently is capable of keeping away pests without the grievous harm to the environment. An impressive project to be certain.

Of the teams I've seen so far, technically, SafeAgri seems to be the most impressive. I do not know, however, if they will be able to win, seeing as they are working with the handicap of having presented in Sinhalese. I do love a good underdog story.

• The last team to come up, have a great, simple concept, IJX - Angel. A drone capable of flying to drowning swimmers and quickly giving them lifesaving gear.

EDIT: The winner will be announced shortly.
EDIT: The winner of InspireSL is SafeAgri! Congratulations!
