During week 3 I researched other teams design reports for the SAE Aero competition. I printed out the reports I found and put them in a binder so they are available for reference. One of the teams that I found used XBee’s to act as transmitters/receivers in their data acquisition system. Another teams revealed what type of altitude sensor that they used (MPL3115A2). I could not find any full design reports with scoring  from advanced class so I could not tell how each teams system performed but the initial testing and research presented should be helpful in determining the components I need.
