Design Brief

Team

Design and develop a fully functioning Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) for the 2011 MATES ROV Competition to be operated by a mission team in a fresh, chlorinated water pool while performing a checklist of tasks, including maneuvering through a 80cm X 80cm tunnel, manipulating objects (grabbing three crustaceans, scooping 100mL of Agar, and pulling out PVC pins), and making observations.

Individual Component



Design and build a neutrally buoyant structure of a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) that employs a stable platform design, which incorporates the ballast and propulsion system, manipulator, camera, hydrophone, and sensors that will ultimately be operated by a mission team member in a fresh, chlorinated water pool in order to maneuver and complete a checklist of tasks.

  1. You are designing for the 2010 tasks since we already know them. We may not be able to compete in the 2011 competition due to $$$ and different tasks.

    Nice job on individual DB.
