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 by introducing the Deep Sea Dogs, their team mission, each team group, and their ROV. Next, information is provided on the design and construction of the ROV, highlighting materials used, the ROV design, electronics, and software. Systems integration diagrams (SIDs) are included. The report then covers marketing, budget, current outreach, future outreach, and future plans and improvements. Finally, the report focuses on product testing, testing results, acknowledgments, and references.
