## FAQ

**Do I need a car?** Nope.

**What should I bring?** Your laptop and any hardware you want to hack on. We'll provide food, drinks, Wi-Fi, and any comma hardware.

**What kind of projects will I work on?** That's up to you! Hack on the UI, strap a comma four to your drone, bring your car to port, or anything else openpilot-related.

**How are projects judged?** Demos on Sunday afternoon, judged by the comma team on quality and creativity.

**I've never used openpilot. Can I still come?** Absolutely, though it's best to clone it and play around with it beforehand.
