It's been a long night

After a night of between zero and five hours of sleep for our team members, our CanSat seemed to work perfectly well. But since 6 A.M. we've had to change our Arduino UNO around four times, because of various issues, the last one probably being caused by a short circuit.

Thankfully, the jury allowed us to send up our CanSat with a model aircraft, so that we could get some data from our muon detector, which was the only part that still actually work at Meterorian. They also gave us permission to try to systematically troubleshoot our CanSat for tomorrow and see if we can send it up with the rocket then instead.

Right now all of the team is taking a power nap (apart from me who has already woken up), to be able to go through all of our CanSat after that without making any stupid errors because of lack of sleep. Our plan right now is that our oldest member Vivi will take responsibility for troubleshooting our CanSat together with one of us, other team members, a time, so that it's easier to focus. The ones who do not work on the CanSat itself will be working on our post-flight presentation (with the data we've got by now) as well as updating our social media, organising electronics, and trying to get some more sleep to be more useful for help after that.

If you want to hear a bit about the competition and our team from our coach (in Swedish) you may also listen to https://arenan.yle.fi/audio/1-62152026 (from 21 minutes) :). Let's cross our fingers that our CanSat will work tomorrow again, so that we can launch it then instead!
