Eastern Edge Robotics: Technical Report

This 22-page report, published by Memorial University of Newfoundland, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Eastern Edge Robotics team for the Explorer Class of the 2022 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, Navigator, and Scout.

The report begins with an abstract that introduces Eastern Edge Robotics and their ROV. The design rationale section provides an analysis of the construction of the team's ROV, discussing the chassis, propulsion, ballast, buoyancy, electronics enclosure, electrical systems used, software used, and more. Also included are future improvements, references, acknowledgments, and appendices.

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