LHS Horizon: Technical Report

This 25-page report, from Lenape High School, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the LHS Horizon 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.

This report begins with an abstract and project management information that introduces the team and their ROV. The design rationale section provides an analysis of the construction of the team's ROV, discussing the engineering design rationale, innovation, problem solving, systems approach, vehicle structure, control/electrical system, buoyancy and ballast, and payload and tools. Safety, a critical analysis, and accounting are also covered in the report.

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