Cyance ROV Team: Technical Report

This 19-page report, from Cyance, a division of Atlantis S.T.E.A.M, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Cyance ROV Team for the Ranger Class of the 2023 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 Cyance ROV Team and their ROV followed by a discussion of project management and company organization. The design rationale section provides an overview of the construction of the ROV, followed by buyoancy and ballast, and payload and tools. Also covered is building versus buying parts, buying new versus used parts, budget, problem solving, and acknowledgments. A safety checklist and systems integration diagram (SID) are included.

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