What is an ROV?
ROV stands for Remotely Operated Vehicle. Our vehicle will travel underwater and complete a number of tasks within a time limit. The pilot will use video cameras and controllers to navigate the 'bot through obstacles and pick up objects.
The Competition:
The Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center and the Marine Technology Society (MTS) ROV Committee organize an annual ROV design and building competition for high school and college students. Employers – industry, businesses, government agencies, and research organizations – and working professionals are becoming involved in the event by donating funds, building supplies, equipment, and facilities and volunteering their time and technical expertise as mentors, technical assistants, and judges to support the competing teams.
