The Challenge
The Challenge:
The challenge we have to complete is to build an ROV and to make our robot maneuver a course
with ease and have it withstand 8 feet of water. We are judged on four objectives: maneuvering
exercise, coral reef restoration, specimen collection, oil well repairs. With many obstacles and
setbacks coming our way in the near future, we will need to work as a team to join together to
create something that can potentially help save the world. It is our job to engineer and design a
robot that shapes the exploration of the underwater world.
We will be judged on a maneuvering exercise that test how agile the ROV is beneath the surface by avoiding poles and diving through hoops. With one point per hoop, we only have a maximum of three minutes to complete this challenge. This aspect is important because out there in the ocean, the ROV will need to swim through obstacles since the ocean is a complicated place. Next is the coral reef restoration which tests our ROV's claw grip strength underwater and also how well it is able to move the coral to one place to another. This is so in the real world, our ROV is able to maneuver marine life without harming or destroying the marine environment. We have four minutes to complete this task and we gain one point per item moved. The specimen collection tests the agility and grip of the ROV to save the endangered Schworoctopuses from the benthic environment. We get four minutes again, but for this challenge, two points per "organism" moved. Lastly, are the oil well repairs which tests the accuracy of our ROV's movement to pick up and repair an oil well. Our ROV will have to plug a broken pipe which resembles a busted oil pipe deep underwater that needs immediate fixing. Our ROV has to have the capacity to fix anything with ease that could cause the mission to fail. We have three minutes to do so and we gain ten points for successful completion.
ROV's are important for marine science because they open scientists and the world up into a whole new world. New discoveries will be made, new species will be found and technology will be further advanced. ROV's can also help with the offshore oil and gas industry. ROV's are not just for swimming pools. They are meant to be in the deep blue, out in the real world with an unlimited number of treasures to be found.
With many tasks necessary of completing, our team will have to work together as one as well as spilt off into sections of our own so we can tackle this immense project we have ahead of us. We will prioritize the constructing of a strong, sturdy ROV that can steer with ease.
