Sailfish ROV: Technical Report

This 25-page report, provided by Higher Technological Institute, Tenth of Ramadan City, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Sailfish ROV team for the Explorer Class of the 2024 MATE ROV competition. MATE ROV is a global competition that challenges STEM students to build underwater ROVs to complete challenges. The competition is split into the following classes based on build complexity: Explorer, Ranger, Pioneer, and Navigator, and Scout.

The report begins with an abstract introducing Sailfish ROV and their ROV. Next, the report goes into detail on the design and construction of the team's ROV, covering the ROV's design evolution and process, mechanical design, electrical design, and software used in the ROV. Also discussed is ROV and team safety, testing and troubleshooting techniques, team logistics, budget planning, and post-construction conclusions. The following appendices are included:

• Sailfish Expenses Table
• Sailfish Company Timeline
• Sailfish Company Structure
• Software SID [systems integration diagram]
• Hardware SID
