Joe, congrats on that team effort. I guess getting the instrument package up high is easy compared to finding/recoverying it (laws aside, just technically). I've been toying with some ideas for slow descent (waiting for 3d printer order to arrive to prototype). I'm playing with arduino gear these days and seeing what sensors can offer.

From what you learnt would you says its better to build an arduino instrument package? Or buy (if it exists) an off the shelf device instead? Any problems with device failure as it reached altitude? eg condensation/icy? etc or did everything work normally all the way?
