Fish Logic: Technical Report

This 25-page report, provided by Macau Anglican College, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Fish Logic 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 Fish Logic and their ROV followed by a discussion of project management. Next, the report goes into detail on the design and construction of the ROV, covering design innovation, mechanical aspects, and the electrical, camera, and control systems. Highlighted are specific ROV tools created for each competition task and the team's vertical profiling float. Also discussed is ROV part sourcing, testing and troubleshooting strategies, finance, budget planning, and safety. Included is a workshop safety checklist.

Manuals for each competition class and technical reports from other teams are available to view separately.
