Legacy, is creating a football helmet that will record impact data with an accelerometer and upload this data to a web server via WiFi so coaches can get real time data about how hard their players are being hit. This technology will allow coaches to pull players out before serious head injuries occur, effectively reducing the number of football related concussions. The helmet which we've named the "Legacy Helmet" will be available June 1st, 2015.

Re scoping the project
The Legacy Team came to the conclusion that it is best to re scope the project. Because of difficulties with the TI Exosite and the CC3100, the helmet prototype will be presented in its Ethernet state.

TI Exosite Trouble
The team discovered that the Exosite does not support the CC3100. This is an obstacle because it limits the capability to make the project Wi-Fi compatible. Further research will be done to find out a way around this problem. Failure in doing so might result in re scoping the project on a small scale.
