 ====== Hardware ======
 ===== Computer =====
-The on-board computer will be a Gumstix Connex with a robostix and netMMC expansions. The robostix can be used for GPIOs, servos and analogue inputs. The netMMC expansion has a network port for development and an MMC card for storage. The robostix provides two TTL level serial ports from the Gumstix for the GPS and phone.

+The netMMC expansion has a network port for development and an MMC card for storage. It probably uses up too much power and space for the final thing, but it'll be great for development.

-We can use the Siemens M20 GSM terminal (or a Nokia 5110 with a serial cable) to send us a text message of the payload's location and status after it has landed. Ideally it would come back to where it was launched, but there may be problems. We can also send text messages to the payload to control it if need be.

 Not a great concern right now. :)
