Building a CanSat part 4 - Forming a team / distribution of work

Because of the immense amount of work that is required to build the CanSat, the work is now being distributed to a selected number of people. I trust that my team of five will be able to accomplish the task at hand because the people I selected have experience with robotics and programming. I'm planning on assigning each team member a certain sensor or instrument to do research on. We will be catching up on progress through weekly meetings. A distribution of work is better than individual process.

Building a CanSat part 3 - Fitting the pieces

Most of the parts have already come through the mail already. Now comes the complicated procedure of what to do first. The next step would be to separately test out each individual part to make sure that the sensors and radios work. One of the issues is that the main sensor: the GY80 IMU had a failed transaction. The delay on the sensor will result in a slight delay in my progress. However, I will be spending the time testing out the APC220 radio while continue my research on other CanSat projects. Also need to find a soda can to build the satellite in. Looks like I will be drinking nothing but A&W Root Beer for the next couple of weeks in order to compensate with the number of times I'm probably going to mess up this project.
