ENG-CANSAT-SAMPLE
Introduction
The entire project must fit into a can! The size and dimensions are available in CanSat settlement.
This page contains various ressources from MCHobby and contest participants. Such ressources can help you in finding your ways in building your own setup.
Prototype 1
Here the first prototype build around the Pico-Cansat-Kit.
This raw prototype shows how to build Aluminium stand-off from 5mm aluminium section.
Thanks to a Hobby Lathe (Proxxon) and few trick it is possible to build a very strong can.
Some very common material can be used to create a 0.10mm surrounding wall for the can ;-)
