Team's key moments

Making sparks using

a "smoke-stopper" component

During our tests, we  accidentently made a short circuit because 2 components were in contact : the video transmitter and the "smoke stopper", which is supposed to prevent from short circuits. Luckily, it didn't cause any damage to our system.

Having a bug in the code 5 minute before launch

But we managed to fix it. Go watch the full rebroadcasting video !
