Hydro Sapiens: Technical Report
This 18-page report, published by the African School of Innovations Science and Technology, describes the engineering design process used to create a subsea remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for the Ranger 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.
This report begins with an outline of courses and tasks completed by the ROV designed by Team Hydro Sapiens, as well as a brief technical description of the ROV and its control mechanism. Covered are the testing and building processes. The report concludes with a user manual. The report is divided into nine sections, which are not limited to but include:
- Work Plan
- Design Approach
- Framework Design
- Building of the Barracuda Control Box
- Testing
- ROV Design Costing
- Final Design
Manuals for each competition class and technical reports from other teams are available to view separately.
