Idea name: Bottlender
Problem:
We have noticed that people run in crowds at running marathons, and many often do not have access to water or spend time waiting in line, which affects their results and endangers their health if they do not receive the required amount of water for a long time.
Solution:
We want to create a 0.5-liter water bottle shooter that will shoot bottles in a crowd so that everyone can get this service. The bottles would be fitted with small parachutes to ensure that they land slowly and calmly from a stable device in the crowd.
With our product, using a dedicated mobile application created by us, projectiles can be sent accurately in the crowd. Also, parachutes attached to bottles would be a great place for marketing, as they could display the sponsor or marathon organizer's logo. The possibility of advertising would generate additional income for the organizers, which could then be used for their choice.
We believe that the existence of such a facility would create a stir and attract popularity to the event.
Also, running towards a water bottle that slowly descends in your hands would give the runner more motivation to reach a water distribution point, which could improve athletic performance.
Challenge category: Sport and innovation, Sports infrastructure and equipment
Sport: interdisciplinary application
Idea type: New idea

During the hackathon, teams can solve the challenges set by the partners, as well work on own new or work in progress ideas.
If possible, we suggest the teams to find ways to adapt their solutions to the challenges set by the partners, as they are looking for teams to work together and start pilot projects after hackathon.
