Geneseas: Technical Report

This 25-page report, published by St. Francis Catholic High School, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Geneseas team for the Ranger 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 introducing Geneseas and their ROV. Following the abstract, information on the construction of the team's ROV is provided, highlighting aspects of the design evolution, mechanical components, electrical systems, pneumatics, tether, digital camera system, and more. The report also covers testing and troubleshooting, safety, logistics, and conclusions. The following appendices are included: Operations and Safety Checklists, and Budget and Project Costing.

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