EMBS Design Contest 2017

And it is time to announce the winners of the EMBS Design Contest 2017. The Contest took place a bit later this year because of some changes in the teaching plan, aiming to better cope with the reduction in the number of assessments (from three to only two now, one in Dec/Jan and another in Apr/May). The rules were still the same: class divided in teams, each of them trying to design, implement and deploy an ad-hoc wireless network that is able to send packets from the lab all the way to my office in the opposite end of the Computer Science building. All within two hours!


This time, the winning team managed to get their solution working within a few minutes of the deadline, and were rewarded with a box of chocolates and their photo in this blog:

And for the first time ever, the race towards a working solution was really close, and a second group managed to have their solution working and delivering packets at the destination only a couple of minutes after the winning group had delivered their first packet, so I think it is fair enough to reward them with a Honourable Mention and a (smaller) photo in the blog as well (but no chocolates):

Here, some links to the pictures of the top teams from 2016, 2015, 2014, 2012, 2011 and 2010 (in 2013, no group managed to finish the task).
