Will External Sources for Sensor Data be Allowed?

[xtrawurst]

Hi,

I have just read this discussion about the question if server apps
will be allowed for the challenge:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-challenge/browse_thread/thread/91f294425772c2c5

I have a somewhat similar question: We are working on an Android
application whose user experience heavily relies on valid sensor-data
(such as accererometer).
Since an emulator can, of course, not provide any real usable sensor-
data, we have "outsourced" this problem to a second application which
runs in parallel on the host machine. This application can be fed with
real sensor data and constantly send this data into our Android
application.

Can we assume that the application will be judged with an instance of
the "helper-application" running, providing the emulator with sensor-
data? Would a video-demonstration (as part of the documentation,
having real sensors) be appreciated for the challenge?
How can we make sure that the lack of valid sensor data in the
emulator does not affect the judging of our application?

An official or any reliable answer would be highly appreciated.
