The GAMCIT (Gamma-ray Astrophysics Mission, California Institute of Technology) payload is a Get-Away-Special payload designed to search for high-energy gamma-ray bursts and any associated optical transients. This paper presents details on the development and construction of the GAMCIT payload. In addition, this paper will reflect upon the unique challenges involved in bringing the payload close to completion, as the project has been designed, constructed, and managed entirely by undergraduate members of the Caltech SEDS (Students for the Exploration and Development of Space). Our experience will definitely be valuable to other student groups interested in undertaking a challenge such as a Get-Away-Special payload.
