All teams must pass the Safety Inspection (09:00 AM - 10:00 AM only) and provide their safety inspection card to the judge at their first pool trial.
Teams will have 2 trials at the pool to demonstrate Tasks 1- 4.
The highest of the 2 scores will be included the team's total score.
Each team will be assigned their pool times.
The two trials will not be consecutive times.
The team has 15 minutes total:
3 minutes to set up. This starts at the assigned pool time, so don't be late.
12 minutes of pool time. This includes demonstrating Tasks 1-4 (including graphing data on the pool deck)
Each team is only allowed up to 4 members on the pool deck at a time.
Graph paper and pencils will be provided for Task 3 (sediment sample) and Task 4 (MATE Floats!)
Coaches and Spectators are only allowed on the sides of the pool, not in the competition area.
Teams can range from 2-6 members. Only 4 members are allowed on the pool deck during the ROV demonstration part of the competition.
The ROVs will be working in a 4 foot pool.
Teams will be using power supplies provided by the competition. All ROVs must have a powerpole connector.
Teams will be provided with one additional fuse. If that fails, then the pool trial is over. If teams can correct the problem before the 2nd trial, they will be allowed in the pool again.
Refer to the scoring sheet and prop demonstration video. Some of the subtasks need to be performed in order, such as retrieving the sediment sample or MATE Float before graphing data.
Yes you can.
See ROV Resources page.
Yes, spectators can watch the ROV demonstration from the side of the pool. Spectators are not allowed in the competition area on the west side of the pool, nor at the engineering presentations.
