When teams open the last challenge drawer, they will find an RFID “electronic key” that provides part of a 4-digit code.
It is the moment in which the teams break up to form a new group in which the captains must unite their efforts.
But before they can start the rocket launch, they must put together all the information obtained throughout this game and thus be able to order the numbers and obtain the correct sequence for the VEGA-C rocket to take off.
Through a MicroBit and Arduino microprogrammed system, the team of captains will be able to know if the chosen combination is correct through the messages emitted on an LCD screen and the color codes that the rocket emits.
One by one, each participant must bring their RFID key close to the code detection area. The LED that lights up, associated with each key and number, will be in a certain position. This position will indicate the sequence to follow to subsequently enter the final numerical code on a matrix keyboard.
If the launch code is correct, the screen displays the message "Password ok the rocket is ready" - " The countdown to launch begins". The countdown begins 9 - 0, reproducing each number with sound.
At the end of the countdown, the rocket's propulsion motors and special lighting on the VEGA-C rocket will activate to simulate liftoff.
The public will be able to virtually view a video mapping that will simulate a real launch. This simulation has been generated with the HoppAR App.
