Responsibilities

Build and machine complex structures from PVC, metal, foam, and more. Use tools like 3D printers, laser cutters, and saws. Some members will use CAD software like Fusion 360 or Onshape to design parts and model the ROV.

Design circuits and understand electrical components and their purpose. Ensure safety when working with electrical components and work closely with the Programming team to make the ROV functional.

Design and code the control scheme and complex functions for the ROV, including underwater stability, object recognition, and more. Can also code simulations or other related projects for the team.

Support our continued presence in the ROV community, reaching out to other teams, and securing sponsorships. Outreach team members will also help with the marketing aspects of the competition.
