HMS SeaBots : Technical Report

This 25-page report, published by Harrington Middle School, describes the design and construction of Triton II, an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV). This report was created by HMS SeaBots, a student group that participated in the 2021 MATE ROV competitions Ranger class. MATE ROV is a global underwater robotics competition for STEM students. The competition includes Explorer, Ranger, Navigator, and Scout classes.

In the report, an abstract introduces the project and group. The report then discusses the group in further detail, explores time management, and how tasks were split up. The design rationale and software system are then presented, which include information on design decisions, such as the buoyancy and ballast system and software architecture. Systems Interconnections Diagrams are then presented. The report then considers safety decisions, prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, challenges, and lessons learned. Finally, accounting information, acknowledgements, and references are provided. 

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