---VHDL design
---Electric wiring design
-Cayo Andrade - Electronics
---VHDL design
---Radio control researching
-Luís Augusto Nunes - Mechanics
---Materials engineering on the acrylic glass, aluminum and carbon fiber parts;
---Mechanical design
-Hans Peter Schiffert - Mechatronichs (German interchange student)
---Mechanical design (Draw design of the very first version of the prototype)
-Thomas Bergamo - Mechanics
---Mechanical design (links and joiints of the prototype)
-Ana Carolina Sampaio - Electronics (As a graduation project)
---MATLAB design (calculus, projections, simulation and table generation)
---VHDL design
-Pedro Nazareth Pellacani - Electronics (As a graduation project)

Wow, what did you ultimately do with it? Did anything come from it?
