Jesuit Robotics: Technical Report
This 25-page report, provided by Jesuit high School, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Jesuit Robotics 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 Jesuit Robotics and their ROV followed by a discussion of teamwork and project management. The Design Rationale section goes into detail on the design and construction of the team's ROV, including decisions made around ROV design and an analysis of different sections of the ROV. Also discussed is team and ROV safety and testing and troubleshooting techniques. The following appendices are included:
- SIDS [systems integration diagrams] & Fuse Calculations
- Buoyancy Calculations
- Float SID & Operation Logic
- Thruster Orientation Guide
- Budget & Project Costing
Manuals for each competition class and technical reports from other teams are available to view separately.
