Why
is your team participating in the MATE ROV Design Competition?
Our team is competing in this competition because we want to learn more
about ROVs and their applications in life. We have an interest in ROV
construction and robotics in general. We feel that participating in
this program will help us learn more about the way our world works.
What
has your team learned from previous participation in the MATE
ROV Design Competition and/or what does your team hope to learn
form participating this year?
Our team has not participated in this event before, but by participating
in it this
year we hope to learn about using ROVs in a work setting as well as
learning
how to improve our original design plans to have an ROV that can perform
all
the required tasks as efficiently as possible.
What
are your goals for this project and how do you plan to meet
them?
Our goals include learning how to build an ROV, creating an ROV that
can
perform the tasks efficiently and smoothly, and learning more about
the way an
ROV works and why it's used so much. We plan to meet these goals by
working
with our team advisor and other experienced robotics builders, reading
literature
and participating in work shops to learn how to make an ROV, and building
a
module that is flexible and can withstand trial and error tests and
can be rebuilt
if necessary.
Please
describe your team's design plans for the ROV you will use for
the competition (please include what makes it unique and what
features it has that will make it successful in the competition):
This question should include your design plans as well as the unique
features
and features that will make your ROV successful in the competition.
The features
may include multiple video cameras, lighting, a specialized controller,
a unique
body type, unique materials, etc.
Why
does your team need this grant?
Please tell us why your team needs this grant. Are you short on money?
Do you
need special products? What will getting this grant allow you to do?
What
kind of parts does your team need from Carrillo Underwater
Systems for your ROV?
This scholarship is for lights and cameras. Please list how many of
each item you need and whether you need color or black and white cameras.
