Introduction (2-3 paragraphs)
An ROV is an Remotely Operated Vehicle that functions underwater and is connected to a series of cables that give it signals to move. High definition video and still cameras on the vehicles record images of sea life, geology, and experiments. ROV's have been used for lying cables on the sea floor for tele-communications, search and recovery, safe navigation, defense and homeland security and inspecting bridges, ships and nuclear power plants. They are very practical and safe.
An AUV on the other hand is an autonomous underwater vehicle, which is used for underwater survey missions for mapping submerged wrecks, rocks and obstructions that can be a hazard to navigation for commercial and recreational vessels.
ROV Challenge (2-3 paragraphs with bulleted lists of supplies and constraints accepted)
Our ROV will face challenges such as trying to be agile and maneuverable for the straight line race while being able to have arms and tools to be able to pick up items. We have to make our ROV fast to able to win the race and easy enough to control to be able to make adjustments in the water while picking items up. The size of ROV will be constrained because it will need to be able to fit through the rings in the obstacle course.
Supplies Include
72" (1.8m) 1/2" PVC Pipe
10 1/2" PVC Elbows
4 1/2" PVC Tees
1 12" X 6.5" (31 X 17 cm) Payload Net
