CanSat 2015 Xplorer Team

The Xplorer team passed the first phase of the competition

In the past 16th December 2014 we have received an e-mail from ESERO Portugal informing us that the Xplorer team had passed to the second phase of the selection process towards the 2015 CanSat Portugal competition. The whole team was very happy with this e-mail, which was seen as a Christmas gift in advance.

Now the next steps are:

• [2015/01/10-2015/01/11]: mandatory teacher's workshop; the team teacher's already attended this workshop in 2014 and so they are dispensed from attending it; anyway they are still evaluating if they will participate or not; the decision will depend more on the team needs; More information regarding this workshop can be found here;
• [2015/01/16]: this is the deadline to fill-in a report that must be delivered to the competition organisation in the following of the teacher's workshop;
• [2015/01/23]: it will be announced the teams that will be allowed to participate in the 2015 CanSat Portugal competition; each one of those teams will receive a free CanSat kit.

Our team, as well as all other team's, will have to obey to the  rules establish in the competition regulation.

Until the 23rd January 2015, much work is in front t of us: a more detailed definition of what our CanSat will be, and accompanied and on-the-job (self) training on relevant topics like Electronics/Arduino and programming.
