Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle
DEFINITION
DEFINITION
U.R.O.V is a remotely controlled robot designed to work in the underwater environment. For this project we are going to use P.V.C pipes, wires, and motor. The purpose of this robot is to compete in tournaments and win. Usually the operator is outside of the water operating the vehicle which means that the vehicle should have enough power so the range could be farther."A remotely operated underwater vehicle is a tethered underwater mobile device. This meaning is different from remote controlled vehicles operating on land or in the air. UROVs are unoccupied, highly maneuverable, and operated by a crew aboard a vessel. They are common in deep water industries such as offshore hydrocarbon extraction. They are linked to a host ship by a neutrally buoyant tether or, often when working in rough conditions or in deeper water, a load-carrying umbilical cable is used along with a tether management system ..." According to Wikipedia
Early stages of last years UROV ¨Napolean Dynamite." This UROV was composed of a PVC structure, an old VEX IQ claw, PVC pipes for buoyancy, and even had 3D printed shrouds for the motors. In the competition though, due to a series of malfunctions and buoyancy miscalculations, the UROV hardly moved. Yet from these failures and mistakes, we learned some things of what not to do in the future!
