North Paulding Robotics : Technical Report

This 25-page report, published by North Paulding High School, describes the design and construction of an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV). This report was created by North Paulding Robotics, 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. Next, the design rationale is presented alongside information on mechanical components, systems decisions, and mission specific tools. The report then considers safety, teamwork, and the budget. Troubleshooting and testing techniques are also considered. Finally, outreach information, references, acknowledgements, and appendix images are provided.

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