Materials List

I think we are on track to make this a successful launch, I would like to narrow down and confirm our materials so that we are within our budget and we know exactly what we are getting. I think we are all agree on the Otterbox design (found by Austin) for our payload. One question I would have would be its attachment points, i.e. will it be easy to attach our parachute. Hussein and David will have to work on its shape in case of a water landing to add extra floatation. So at the moment we are all in congruence that we will be spending $30 (plus s&h and tax presumable) on the box, correct?

    The box has handles on each side of it that can be used as attachment points.

    I think we should put styrofoam on the bottom so it can float

    So we have the GPS. We are going to order a Motorola Clutch i475 for $40.00. The shipping is free. The website to set up the GPS tracking is free. All we will then need to do is activate the phone and download the software on it.

    TL;DR: GPS, check!
