Output information such as airtime, temperature, altitude, and velocity over headphones
Direct a lost user back to an initial location
Last for hours using an onboard rechargeable lithium-polymer battery

3. Design Challenges Faced
Packaging (the Gauntlet must fit comfortably on a user's arm)
Power (in a battery-powered device, energy use is important)
Mistakes (a bit of advice: always read the datasheets! And then reread them...)
