It is described how a CanSat pico-satellite type rover was designed and built to compete in the Fourth CanSat National Educational Satellites Competition. Students of Engineering in Information Technologies and Communications with the support of teachers of that career designed and built the pico-satellite called EagleSat V2.0. Using the methodology of the "V" model, the mission was conceptualized which was the sending of data of: internal and external temperature, pressure, relative humidity, altitude, longitude, latitude, battery level, vibration and acceleration through telemetry to an earth station; take video and return to the starting point using a rover type vehicle; the requirements and architecture of all stages of the EagleSatV2.1 were specified. Starting from the architecture, the printed circuits were designed and built, the components and the different sensors were welded to measure the data. In addition, a mechanical structure and tires were designed and printed on a 3D printer which would make up the Rover type vehicle. Thanks to the excellent work done, the first place was obtained in the Fourth CanSat National Satellites Educational Contest in the comeback category.
