Information
New this Fall 2008, the ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) Committee's focus is the MATE (Marine Advanced Technology Education Center) International ROV Competition. MATE is one of the top robotics competitions in the world, and is by far the largest underwater competition. The international competition has entirely new tasks annually that always focus on underwater ecological studies. The tasks usually consist of collecting simulated living specimens, collecting environment samples, and collecting data about the surrounding waters. This competition is designed to teach future engineers about how to create a new vehicle with many innovations, how to work as a team in developing this vehicle, and how to present the vehicle as professionals in a contract-bid style environment.Meetings
Mondays at 6:00pm in the IEEE Office (EE014)
