Team:TUDelft/Attributions
This page is dedicated to everyone who helped us and believed in our project. During our project we have received a lot of advice and support from our supervisors, stakeholders, sponsors and specialists. While all of the practical work has been performed by our team, our project would not have been possible without all of these people. We also have a special page for all our sponsors, who helped us financially to achieve our goals.
