This tracking app can allow users to locate family members or track pets through Twitter, by posting the coordinates on Google Maps. Features include: Map, Settings, Twitter Login, Manual Post Button, Automatic Post Button (Every 10 Seconds), and a Timer.
This app was developed by a FIRST Robotics team, The Rolling Bots. Because the project involved helping animals, we decided to create an app that can help locate lost pets.
Our goal is to be able to outline a boundary with your finger, allowing the app to notify you when your pet or family member leaves the boundary. It should be attached to a shock collar via bluetooth, allowing the dog to get shocked when it goes out of the boundary. This invention, similar to an electric fence, is portable, allowing users to bring their dog anywhere, creating a boundary to let them go without a leash, or perhaps, getting lost.
