TecXotic: Technical Report

This 21-page report, published by Tecnológico de Monterrey, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the TecXotic 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 TecXotic and their ROV followed by an analysis of team and ROV safety. The report goes into detail on the design and construction of the ROV, covering the ROV software used, ROV design and mechanics, electronics, and ROV tools. Also discussed is the team's non-ROV device, project management, and budget and cost accounting, and testing and troubleshooting techniques.

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