Coral Crusaders: Technical Report

This 22-page report describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Coral Crusaders 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 the Coral Crusaders and their ROV. It then covers company information, safety, the mission theme, project management, and system integration diagrams (SIDs). Next, the report includes an analysis of the team's ROV, highlighting tether, control box, video system, tools, flotation, propulsion, and safety features. Also covered are challenges, lessons, future improvements, acknowledgments, and references.

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