Engineering Entrepreneurship Club: Technical Report

This 23-page report, published by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Engineering Entrepreneurship Club 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 the Engineering Entrepreneurship Club and their ROV followed a discussion of teamwork and project management. The Design Rationale section provides an overview of the team's approach to ROV design and goes into detail on each part of the ROV, including the vehicle structure and system, the electrical system, the control system, and the ROV's tools. Also covered is ROV and team safety, testing and troubleshooting techniques, and accounting. Included are system integration diagrams (SIDs) for the ROV and the team's non-ROV float.

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