Day 8 – The EAGLE is coming home

Early in the morning the time had come for us to go back home. We assembled in front of the hostel at 5:30, with most of us still being half asleep. A bus drove us to the airport of Tallinn and it was the first trip we made in a bus with just ourselves that …

Day 7 – The EAGLE has his last visits

For this day, we were going to visit two companies. The first company that we visited was Krakul. After Meeuwis had again guided us to the company perfectly, we immediately met one of the first things Krakul works on. These were the self-driving delivery robots of Starship Technologies, that were driving in the fields. When …

Day 6 – The EAGLE approaching the Finnish

While the majority of the group took their time to sleep in after the pub crawl, I took the chance to hop on a ferry to Helsinki. The capital of Finland is just 80km away from Tallinn and several huge ferries go up and down there every single day, even if the Baltic Sea is …

Day 5 – The EAGLE has been listened to

Day 3 – The EAGLE having performance issues

Our bellies filled with bread and sweet cherry yoghurt, we entered the taxi-bus and took off towards “Squadrobots” where we were welcomed …

Day 2 – The EAGLE missing its leg

A lucky few of us started the second day with some coffee Heleen brought. After that we visited SAF Technika, a company that specializes in direct link telecommunications. Getting inside proved to be a bit difficult, since the security seemed to be sleeping. Our knowledge of the courses Intro Telecommunications and Electromagnetics 2 was enriched …

Day 1 – The EAGLE has landed

Today was the day we were looking forward to for so long, the EAGLE took off with Riga as its first destination. We gathered at 7:30 in the departure hall of Eindhoven Airport though the majority met each other already in the bus on the way. While waiting for our airplane to arrive, the first …
