You are part of an ocean exploration research team. You have been given the mission of finding and rescuing a manned submarine that has become stranded somewhere at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. You and your team must design and build an Underwater Exploration Vehicle (UEV) that can locate and rescue the stranded scientists and their vessel. You have four days to accomplish your mission and save the day.
