Team Design Brief

            Design and construct a submersible remotely operated vehicle to achieve the tasks provided by the MATE ROV Competition that a team operator can use to simulate a real life ROV exploration in a chlorinated testing pool.   Each team member will individually design a different operating component of the remotely operated vehicle, which will include: propulsion systems, design structure, and a mechanical arm.

Individual Design Brief

Design and construct a mechanical arm to be placed on the structure of the remotely operated vehicle that a team member can operate efficiently. The mechanical arm must collect samples of a crustacean species and bacteria mat, sample a vent site, and resurrect "Hugo".
