A team from Aichi University of Technology participated in a comeback competition with their STELA rover project. The team included 4 members and used an H8 microcomputer, Arduino Pro Mini, compass, and GPS to control a CFRP rover. In their first trial on September 13, 2016 the rover avoided ruts and traveled 5.81 meters while visualizing its path and steering angle. The team thanked the organizers and other groups for the competition.

Editor's Notes
Hello, I am Miho Akiyama. I came from Aichi University of Technology, team STELA, Japan.
Our team has four members.
All of our team member are 3rd grade bachelor students.
First, I describe out rover’s body.
Please,look at right a picture.
We used carbon CFRP for making our rover’s chassis.
And we selected polyethylene foam for making rover’s tires
Next, we describe the electrical circuit and the computer program.
Please,look at left a picture.
Our rover has H8 microcomputer for main computer, and it also has Arduino pro mini microcomputer for sensing compass data.
Next,I describe result of come back competition.
We tried come back mission 1st trial September thirteen.
There was a big rut in our rover’s way
Now,I’ll show you the movie when our rover stucked.
Our rover stucked and turned over.
But our rover have many type of moving when our rover have stuck judgement.
So our rover could escape from the big rut！
Our rover could escape a big stuck.
And our rover could stop the goal near 5.81m in first trial.
We succeeded come back mission.
These are the our rover’s running path in fast trial.
We tried 2st trial in September fifteen.
Our rover could land safety.
But our rover rolled in the parachute.
So our rover couldn’t run.
These are two pictures when our rover rolled in the parachute.
So we were retired in second Trial.
That’s all.
Thank you very much, Mr. David and Mr.Charlie ＆ all AeroPac members＆ all Cansat groups ＆ ARLISS official staffs!
We are going to keep trying making the best rover.
Thank you for listening our presentation.
