Technical Constraints NameDescription Operating Depth The ROV Must Operate at depths up to 3.2 meters Operating Power The ROV must operate from a 12.7V +/- 0.3V voltage source and draw less than 25 amps of current Maneuverability The ROV must maneuver effectively enough to make it competitive Video Capability The ROV must have a minimum of one camera with a 3 meter range to allow it to compete effectively Manipulator Arm The ROV must have a manipulator arm capable of lifting 2 Newtons
Operating Depth Sank pressure canister to approximately 3.2 meters
Operating Power MATE current limit is 25A With all components in operation, total current draw was less than 13A
Maneuverability Front and rear vertical motors work independently of one another
Maneuverability Horizontal motors work independently to allow for a tighter turning radius.
Video Capability Camera 1 gives view of end of arm 1 3 meters
Video Capability Camera 2 gives general view of space under ROV 2
