Everyone needs to use the same tools in order for judging to be fair across the board. We encourage projects to link over to their own infrastructure where appropriate, to allow maximum student participation within the respective communities. Also, using Google’s infrastructure makes our lawyers happy, and we want them to be happy because they make it possible for us to do exciting things like this contest. You can help us make our lawers happy right now by reading through the contest official rules.
