WSN Design Contest 2015

Today was the day of the WSN Design Contest 2015. Actually, the contest is still taking place as I write this, but we already have winners! For the first time ever, one of the groups finished the challenge with plenty of time to spare (they did it in about 1h40!)

Below, the winning group and their prize.



They now join the gallery of winning teams of each year: 2014, 2012, 2011 and 2010 (in 2013, no group managed to finish the challenge). 

The contest is part of my EMBS undergraduate module: all students are divided in groups, are given a few WSN motes and programming boards, and must design, test and implement a simple multihop wireless communication protocol over IEEE 802.15.4 physical layer in order to transmit a packet from the labs to my office, all within a 2 hours practical lecture slot. The winner team gets a box of chocolates, and are immortalised with their picture in this blog.
