The main goal of this project was to engineer a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to compete in the 2009 Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) International ROV competition. The vehicle was designed to operate in a submarine rescue fashion, while maintaining the maneuverability and precision actuations of a normal ROV. The vehicle has been designed for the efficient completion of tasks that a rescue ROV may have to perform. These tasks range from surveying the submarine, opening a hatch and inserting emergency supplies, supplying an airline, and providing a transfer skirt for rescue.
