Sea Perch Underwater Robotics

DESIGN, CONCEPTS AND TEAMWORK – teams will be asked a series of questions to determine the level of effort and understanding in these areas CREATIVITY AND ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS - SeaPerches will be judged on aesthetics, robustness, creativity of modifications to accomplish mission BASIC LAUNCH Speed (average of time for 2 trials for a standard distance) Maneuverability Speed to complete a submerged obstacle course that involves large rings (22" minimum diameter), oriented in any direction, through which the vehicles must travel. A possible course includes three to five -22" diameter hoops. MATH CHALLENGE - teams will solve analytical problems related to building the SeaPerch.
